Exposures mean someone who tested positive for COVID-19 was at school in the days before their diagnosis. They were likely contagious, but it’s not confirmed that school transmission occurred.
Within the Vancouver School Board, Sir James Douglas Annex is reporting a new exposure on December 7, Champlain Heights Community Elementary is reporting one on December 3 and 4, and Eric Hamber Secondary is reporting one on December 1 and 2.
The private West Coast Christian School is also reporting an exposure on December 7.
Exposures occur when someone attends school while infectious. Contact tracers get in touch with their close contacts directly, and anyone who does not receive a phone call can still go to school as usual.
