School board confirms COVID-19 case at Worsley Elementary in Wasaga Beach

For the second time in as many days, a COVID-19 case has been confirmed at a school in South Georgian Bay.

The Simcoe County District School board confirmed a case at Worsley Elementary School in Wasaga Beach.

The board sent home letters to parents but would not confirm if it was a teacher or student who tested positive.

A classroom is closed at the school.

This follows a confirmed case at Admiral Collingwood Elementary School on Monday, which also resulted in a classroom being closed.

Corrine Lalonde has two children at the school and said the necessary steps are being taken.

“I think the school and public health are doing what needs to be done and as long as kids and teachers are following the guidelines at the school, the risk is very low,” she said. “Each parent can make a decision as to what is right for their family and child.”
