The school board said in a Feb. 27 letter to parents that Public Health Sudbury and Districts confirmed one case of COVID-19 at Algonquin Road Public School.

The Kindergarten class in Room 9 has been asked to self-isolate to and including March 10. Public Health will contact parents and guardians of students and all school personnel who have been identified as close contact. There is no impact on transportation.
Public Health continues to investigate the situation, and if any risks to the school community are identified, they may direct additional measures.
The school board is also advising that MacLeod Public School students on one shared bus route are required to self-isolate due to a possible exposure to COVID-19 not related to the school.
