Vancouver Coastal Health has issued a COVID-19 exposure warning for Seycove Secondary School in North Vancouver School District.
The potential exposure dates are September 30 to October 5.
VCH has previously issued COVID-19 warning for five schools in the West Vancouver school district.
However, a notification does not mean your child has been exposed to COVID-19, VCH adds.
If you do not receive a phone call or letter from Public Health, your child should continue to attend school. You can monitor your child for COVID-19 symptoms daily using the BC COVID-19 Health Assessment Tool.
Should a student or staff tests positive for COVID-19, VCH said its immediate priority is to notify individuals who may be exposed in the most direct manner.
“This is the most effective public health practice as it allows us to quickly contact affected individuals as well as maintain patient confidentiality,” VCH said.
“When we are unable to directly reach all close contacts in a timely manner, we use other means to contact students, parents and staff, which may include a letter and/or public notification.”
Meanwhile, Hollyburn Club in West Vancouver has also been shut to patrons after COVID-19 exposure.
