The Grey-Bruce Health Unit is currently working with the Bluewater District School Board regarding a suspected COVID-19 outbreak associated with Hanover Heights Community School.
In a release on April 15th, the GBHU says two positive cases are associated with this suspect outbreak. The release states that "a suspect outbreak identifies interim evidence of transmission from person to person. Status will be determined pending additional testing. A single bus route is involved with this suspect outbreak."
The release goes on to say that individuals with COVID-19 have been contacted directly by the GBHU COVID-19 Case and Contact Management Team. They have worked with the individuals and the school, along with the school board and bus company and have identified all others, both in and out of the school environment, who may have been exposed and have determined their risk level. Any cohorts that have been identified as contacts to the cases have been excluded from school at this time.
Those not contacted by Public Health need not take any additional steps including asymptomatic testing.
