KAMLOOPS — School District 73 is concerned about the weeks ahead as COVID-19 transmission remains high in B.C.

On Thursday (Apr. 15), Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry provided data backing up claims that transmission is low within classroom settings.

Kamloops-Thompson School District Superintendent Terry Sullivan has been saying the same for some time, noting school exposures tend to increase after school breaks.

While there is only one reported school exposure in the district currently, Sullivan says he is concerned for what is to come.

“We actually saw the increase in cases occur about three weeks after Christmas,” Sullivan said. “We’re getting into that three week period next week and we’ve had cases every week, certainly again this week we’ve had cases, so we’re kind of waiting for next week to see what happens, because we know the cases have been up all over the province.”
