A case of COVID-19 has been confirmed at St. Stephen High School.
Friday is an operational day for the school and students will learn from home.
A new rapid testing program was rolled out in schools across New Brunswick earlier this week.
Unvaccinated students identified as close contacts of a confirmed case will be given a five- or 10-day supply of tests.
Those students will have to self-isolate for at least 24 hours while they take their first two rapid tests.
They can return to school after two negative tests unless they have symptoms or are advised by Public Health. Students will have to test daily until the end of the period decided by Public Health to continue attending school.
Schools will also be asking students who are vaccinated to voluntarily provide proof of vaccination so that they may return to class as quickly as possible, even when a case has been confirmed at a school.
Students who do not provide proof of vaccination or participate in rapid testing programs will have to self-isolate as prescribed by Public Health.
At least 11 schools in the Anglophone South School District have reported COVID-19 cases since Sept. 23.
Others include Apohaqui Elementary, Chris Saunders Memorial Elementary in Quispamsis, Campobello Island Consolidated, Forest Hills in Saint John, Hampton Elementary, Hampton Middle, Kennebecasis Valley High in Quispamsis, Loch Lomond Elementary in Saint John, Simonds High in Saint John, and Sussex Elementary.
