The Central Okanagan has the second-highest number, with 76 cases. Only two Central Okanagan schools have potential exposures, Dr. Knox Middle, Feb. 1 and Kelowna Secondary School, Feb. 1-5. Vernon had one school exposure Feb. 1 at Vernon Secondary, Summerland reported a potential exposure at Summerland Secondary, Feb. 1-3, Armstrong reported one at Armstrong Elementary Feb. 1, and Merritt reported a potential exposure at Merritt Central Elementary Feb. 8-9. Interior Health said exposure dates do not necessarily mean there is transmission within the school, and most contact tracing finds transmission occurred outside school communities. “Schools are a reflection of our communities,” Dr. Bonnie Henry said at a press briefing, Feb. 3. “I anticipate, as we continue to have spread in our communities, we will continue to have exposures in our schools.”
