Re: Potential Covid-19 Exposure at FHS
This
is to inform you that there is a possible COVID-19 exposure for a small group
of individuals at Fredericton High School. We are working with Public
Health officials to identify the individuals who may have come into contact
with the virus.
We
understand you may feel anxious over the coming days. Public Health officials will contact you
if your child has been in close contact with the virus. Unless Public
Health officials contact you, your child can continue to attend school in
person on the assigned day.
It
is natural to want to know if your child may have been exposed to the
virus. Public Health officials will inform those who are at risk of the
next steps, but to protect the privacy of students and school personnel, other
details (including names) will not be released.
Because
of the presence of the variant in our region, Public Health is asking that the
entire school community monitor for symptoms. If your child is showing
one or more symptoms, please have them isolate and get registered for a test
by:
- Registering online for a test
by clicking “Get tested” on the GNB corona virus website (https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/corporate/promo/covid-19.html),
or
- Contacting Tele-Care at 811.
Thank
you for helping keep our school, community, and province safe.
Sincerely,
David
McTimoney, Superintendent
