(This story has been updated to clarify that there have been two separate confirmed cases reported at the school this week)

Public Health issued another advisory on Wednesday regarding another confirmed case of COVID-19 at Winnipegosis Collegiate.

The letter sent to the school community states a 2nd confirmed case of COVID-19 attended the school on March 22 in Grade 9, 11 and 12 classrooms when they may have been infectious.

The school was closed on Tuesday, March 23 and reopened the following day after a member of the school community at Winnipegosis Collegiate informed the school they tested positive for COVID-19.

Earlier this week, public health officials said the initial case was at the school on March 16th and 17th in the Grade 9 classroom and on Mr. Richard's bus when they may have been contagious.

Public Health says the school is working closely with health officials and is following their recommendations.  

It's recommended parents take their children for testing if any cold or flu-like symptoms develop.
