Parents of NorKam Secondary School in Kamloops have been informed of a COVID-19 case at the high school.

In a letter sent out on Saturday, NorKam principal Jonathan Brady says that person is isolating at home. Reports to NL News are that the case is a student, although the letter does not provide any specifics of the individual.

“If you are contacted by Interior Health, please follow their advice. If you are not contacted by Interior Health, it has been determined your child is not at risk of developing COVID-19,” Brady says.

“Students should continue to come to school while contact tracing is underway. As a reminder, please continue daily health checks to monitor your child for illness.”

Interior Health says the potential exposure at NorKam was on Nov. 6.

This is believed to be the first case of the virus reported in a school within the Kamloops-Thompson School District.
