Sudbury high school confirms COVID-19 case

SUDBURY -- Officials with the Rainbow District School Board in Sudbury have sent a letter to parents confirming a case of COVID-19 at a local high school.

According to the letter, one individual has tested positive for the virus at Lasalle Secondary School. Officials say that the person is at home in self-isolation.

As a result of the case, two classes have been asked to self-isolate. One is isolating until after Nov. 18^th with the second until after Nov. 19^th.

The letter says that all students who have been exposed will be contacted by Public Health Sudbury & Districts.

This follows an outbreak that was declared at Sudbury’s Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School last month, which included a potential risk of exposure in that school’s cafeteria.

Lasalle Secondary School will remain open despite the new case.
