On Sunday, Light of Christ Catholic Schools announced the Saskatchewan Health Authority identified a positive COVID-19 case at École Monseigneur Blaise Morand School (EMBM) in North Battleford.

The SHA is conducting contact tracing and the school division is working with Public Health.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with this member of our school community, and we hope they are doing well,” said Light of Christ projects coordinator Ramona Stiller in a media release. “This case reminds us that we all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering schools.”

On Friday, the SHA identified a COVID-19 case at Holy Family School, another Light of Christ Catholic School in North Battleford.
