Rainbow DIstrict School Board announced Sunday that a student at Lasalle Secondary School has tested positive for COVID-19.

Lasalle remains open for in-person learning at this time.

The student who tested positive is currently self-isolating.

Two classes have been asked to self-isolate - one until Nov. 18, and another until Nov. 19. The affected families have been notified by the Rainbow District School Board. Public Health Sudbury & Districts will also directly contact all families of students and all school personnel who have been identified as close contacts.

Greater Sudbury has seen a surge in COVID-19 cases in recent days, and the city now has 50 active cases.
