School Exposures
With the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, contact tracing is a less effective tool in the timely management of COVID-19. As such, public health is no longer able to contact everyone who tests positive, and Interior Health will not be listing school exposures for individual cases.
Interior Health’s public health team supports school communities by responding to larger clusters and outbreaks. K-12 schools are closely monitoring school attendance data to determine if/when public health needs to be engaged for support and guidance.
