COVID-19: CASE NOTIFICATION

Region of Waterloo Public Health has determined that a student, last in the Franklin Public
School building on December 18th, 2020 is a presumed positive case of Covid-19. The identity
individual is protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared.

Public Health has identified all high-risk contacts of the presumed case and will provide
individual guidance to them. High-risk contacts include some staff and students who have all
been notified and directed to self-isolate.

If you are not contacted by Region of Waterloo Public Health, you are not considered a
high-risk contact. 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.
