April 23, 2021

The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) has confirmed and advised us that the positive COVID-19 case from the Our Lady of Sorrows School community, which was reported to you on April 13, 2021, is now resolved.  
Although schools are currently closed for in-person learning and instruction is taking place virtually, we would like to reassure you that the school has undergone an extensive cleaning by custodial staff.  All student and staff areas were thoroughly disinfected during the spring break preceding the current provincial school closure.
If you have any questions, please contact the Health Unit at [email protected] or by calling the Health Unit’s School Call Centre at 1-800-563-2808 and follow the prompts. Please note that because of high call volumes to the Health Unit’s vaccine booking centre, phone lines may be busy.
