“They are self-isolating at home with support from local public health teams,” said the Central Okanagan school board. “Interior Health follows up with anyone potentially exposed to a confirmed case directly through contact tracing.”
On IH’s list of school exposures, there are 11 Central Okanagan Schools identified as sites of potential exposures. At Mount Boucherie Secondary, the potential exposure events occurred on April 21, 22 and 23.
