In light of the Omicron variant of concern and how quickly it is spreading, the COVID-19 case, contact and outbreak management approach is being updated across all sectors, as directed by the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health (OCMOH), to balance individual risk and societal disruption – while maintaining safety within schools and communities.
Given recent changes to case and contact management by the Ministry of Health and OCMOH, the Ministry of Education has suspended reporting of COVID-19 cases in schools.
As a result, COVID-19 cases will no longer be reported on the SCDSB COVID-19 advisory board.
