Saskatchewan Health Authority Identifies A Positive Case of COVID-19 of
an Individual at École St. Anne School
PRINCE ALBERT- On October 11, 2020, officials from the Saskatchewan Health Authority identified a
positive COVID-19 case in an individual at École St. Anne School in Prince Albert. Communication
has been shared with the specific classroom/cohort, as well as the school community. The
Saskatchewan Health Authority is completing their assessment of the situation, and all individuals
deemed to be close contacts have been communicated with.
We want to reassure families of École St. Anne School that school will resume October 13, 2020
for in-person classes while maintaining the safety protocols that are in place. To protect privacy,
we are not able to share or discuss details. The case being investigated is linked to an outbreak
within Prince Albert. It is not school acquired.
The classroom impacted by this case, barring any other cases, is now being required to isolate
and will continue to do so until October 22,2020. The class will begin online learning using our
new Edsby Platform.
Our thoughts and prayers are with this member of our school community, and we hope they are
doing well. We all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering
schools.
Thank you to everyone for continuing to be diligent in performing daily health screening, staying
home if ill, calling HealthLine 811 if exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, practicing proper hand
hygiene, maintaining physical distancing as much as possible, wearing a mask when appropriate,
and doing everything we can to keep each other safe.
