Interior Health is reporting a COVID-19 exposure at Westmount Elementary school.
According to the IHA school exposure website, the exposure was on two days last week, April 19 and 20. Westmount now joins Bert Edwards Science and Technology School as the other active exposure within an SD73 school.
As has been the case, students and staff who may have been in direct contact with the person who tested positive for COVID-19 are being contacted by health and school officials with further instructions.
If you’ve not been contacted, health officials say it is still safe for your children to go to school as normal.
Elsewhere, there are two COVID-19 exposures in Salmon Arm – at Shuswap Middle School and at Shuswap Adventist School, along with one in Armstrong at Lenwood Middle School.
There are also 20 schools in the Kelowna area that are currently affected by COVID exposures.
If you have questions or concerns about COVID-19, you’re also asked to contact 811.
