Another case of COVID-19 has been connected to a school in the Halifax area.
This one is at Shannon Park Elementary in Dartmouth, which will be closed to students until Tuesday, April 27. A deep cleaning will take place and students will learn from home during the closure, it said in a news release. Families will receive an update before students return to school on Tuesday.
Public health officials are now in the process of tracking down close contacts and letting them know their next steps, which will include testing and self-isolation.
Because the result came in after the deadline for reporting case data, so it will be included in Thursday s daily case count.
