After a second confirmed COVID-19 case, an outbreak has been declared at Caradoc North Public School just outside Strathroy. There are now two active cases at the Scotchmere Drive school, the Thames Valley district school board announced Friday night. The school board has said the school will remain open and staff, parents and other members of the school community have been notified. If you do not receive a letter from Thames Valley indicating the public health unit has identified your child as a close contact, your child is not considered to be at risk.
Only those staff and students who have been identified as a close contact will be notified and advised to stay home from school and quarantine for a period of 14 days.
