A staff member with the Rainy River District School Board has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The Board states the employee was not in the region during their infectious period so the case wouldn’t immediately show up on the Northwestern Health Unit’s stats.
The employee is now working from home and has been doing so since first learning they may have been exposed.
The Board states the Northwestern Health Unit doesn’t see there being any risk to staff or students.
The Health Unit now has eight active cases.
