Region of Waterloo Public Health has determined that a student at Cameron Heights, last in our building on December 9, has tested positive for Covid-19. The identity of the individual is protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared.

Public Health has identified no high-risk school contacts. As a result, no dismissals of staff or students to self-isolate are required. 

Public Health works with the school to identify high-risk student and staff contacts of the confirmed case to prevent further spread of COVID-19 in students, staff and the community.
