A case of COVID-19 has been confirmed at a K-to-12 school in the City of Edmundston.
District officials say Saint Mary’s Academy will be closed Friday as a precautionary measure.
A post on the Anglophone West School District’s website says Public Health is conducting contact tracing.
“If you are not contacted by Public Health, then it has been deemed you are not a close contact of the individual who has been confirmed as positive and you can continue with regular activities, including returning to school when it resumes,” said the post, which is signed by superintendent David McTimoney.
McTimoney said if you are contacted by Public Health, you should follow their instructions carefully.
