Abbotsford – The President and CEO of Fraser Health, Dr. Victoria Lee, released a statement on social media on the COVID case reported at Abbotsford Christian School:
Six COVID-19-positive cases have been identified at the middle school. As a precautionary measure to respond to this exposure, Abbotsford Christian School has advised Fraser Health that they will functionally close the middle school for a two-week period due to the staffing challenges presented by the exposure.
In a school environment, if a student or teacher receives a confirmed positive COVID-19 test result, Fraser Health Public Health follows a rigorous protocol:
- Contact tracing is initiated to determine how the individual was infected and who they were in close contact with in order to advise for self-monitoring or isolation.
- Public Health staff works closely with the school and school district throughout the case and contact management process to maintain close communication with the school community.
