The Saskatchewan Health Authority has informed Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) of a case of COVID-19 in an individual at Venture Heights Elementary School in Martensville.
PSSD officials stated the school community has been informed. However, the school division was not able to release details because of privacy concerns.
“We are working closely with Public Health staff to ensure necessary measures are in place to protect all students and staff,” stated PSSD officials.
“We all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering schools,” officials continued. “Our school plans contain many important measures, processes and protocols which add layers of protection for students and staff.
“Students and families are reminded to be diligent in performing the daily health screening, stay home if ill, call HealthLine 811 if exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, practice proper hand hygiene, maintain physical distancing as much as possible, wear a mask when appropriate, and do everything we can to keep each other safe.”
