“The school is working closely with public health officials and is following their recommendations. Close contacts have been identified and are advised to self-isolate along with their household members,” reads the letter. “If you have not been contacted by the school stating your child is a potential close contact and a public health official has not contacted you, your child has not been identified as being exposed to COVID-19 from this/these cases.” Anyone who was in the cohort, including staff and students, is asked to self-monitor for the now-traditional COVID-19 symptoms, ranging from a fever, chills, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, vomiting and the like. If those symptoms arise, people are asked to self-isolate and present for testing to Flin Flon General Hospital - public health advises the testing because it will help health workers determine whether the school is the place where the disease was transmitted.

Overall, northern COVID-19 cases went down significantly April 22. A provincial government data correction has brought the number of active COVID-19 cases in northern Manitoba down dramatically. The region, which 711 listed cases Wednesday, now sits at 450 active cases after a backlog of cases were marked as recovered. Most of the cases that were moved were in remote areas, including in several Indigenous communities. The biggest change in the north was seen in the Pukatawagan-Mathias Colomb Cree Nation (MCCN) district, which now sits at 16 active cases of COVID-19 - as of Wednesday, 146 cases were listed as active in the district, an artificially high number because of provincial health reporting delays. The remote Island Lake district also saw cases drop, going from 348 active cases Wednesday to 240 Thursday.

The exact whereabouts of most cases are not known, but at least two Flin Flon cases have been confirmed. The cases were reported in a letter from public health officials and the Flin Flon School Division, stating that the cases were located in the same cohort at Ecole McIsaac School. It is unknown if the cases were in students, teachers or other staff members or if the disease was transmitted to anyone else at the school. “Manitoba public health officials have advised of a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the school on Jan. 11 in the pink cohort when the individual may have been infectious,” reads the public health letter.
