St. Peter Catholic Secondary School in Peterborough issued a letter to families on Thursday (October 1) advising that someone at the school received an inconclusive test result for COVID-19.
The school, located at 730 Medical Drive, states Peterborough Public Health notified the school on Thursday of the inconclusive test, which the health unit is treating as a probable case “out of an abundance of caution.”
The individual who received the inconclusive test — which the school has not identified as a student or staff person — will remain at home until the health unit advises they may return to school, the letter reads.
“As always, the health and wellbeing of our students and staff remain our top priority,” reads the letter to families from St. Peter principal Shannon Brady. “We are working closely with the health unit to identify those who will be required to stay home and self-isolate. Those students and their families will receive a direct letter and call from the school advising them as to any next steps they must take.”
Galen Eagle, communications manager at the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board, states in an email “about 36 students have been directed to stay at home and self-isolate until further notice.”
