KAMLOOPS — COVID-19 exposures in Interior schools have slowed down in the past week, but one Kamloops school is reporting a lengthy exposure.

According to Interior Health (IH), South Kamloops Secondary had a COVID-19 exposure on February 4 and 5, as well as every day of last school week — February 8 to 12.

There are four other relevant school exposures within the Kamloops-Thompson School District, but all of those four will exceed the 14-day isolation period later this week.

Public health officials are completing contact tracing with respect to the SouthKam exposure.

Those who have been in direct contact with the COVID-19-positive individual or individuals will be notified by IH. All others are urged to attend school as normal.
