School boards are required to post regular, public updates on COVID cases linked to their schools. A case in a school does not automatically indicate that person caught COVID-19 at the school.
Anyone who was in close contact with the infected person will be notified by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit.
Not all school boards specify whether a case is a student or staff member.
