There have been 13 cases of COVID-19 among people linked to schools in Thompson in the last two weeks up to April 13, not including this latest case at Wapanohk, according to provincial data online.
These include nine cases at R.D. Parker Collegiate, three at Deerwood School and one at Westwood School. None of these school-linked cases involve COVID variants of concern and the virus wasn’t necessarily contracted while at school.
Other Northern Manitoba COVID cases linked to schools in the last two weeks include one case at Frontier Collegiate in Cranberry Portage, six cases at three schools in Flin Flon and one case in The Pas, which is the first Northern Manitoba COVID case involving a variant of concern.
