There has been another confirmed case of COVID-19 at a school in the Saint John region.
Families at Quispamsis Middle School received an email from the Anglophone South School District on Sunday night announcing the case.
Superintendent Zoë Watson said they are working with Public Health to identify any students and staff who may have been in contact with the case.
“Public Health officials will contact you if your child has been in close contact with the confirmed case and will tell you if your child needs to self-isolate,” Watson wrote in the email.
“If you are not contacted by Public Health officials, your child can continue to attend school.”
Tara Chislett, a spokesperson with the Department of Education, said most students returned to school Monday while one class will learn from home.
“School and district staff will follow any advice that may be provided by regional Public Health authorities,” Chislett said in an email. “We are committed to protecting the privacy of students and staff as per the Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act. As such, we are unable to comment further.”
Two other schools in the Saint John region also reported cases this weekend: Millidgeville North School in Saint John and Belleisle Elementary School in Springfield.
