Vancouver Coastal Health is warning of a COVID-19 exposure at a Richmond elementary school.
There was an exposure at James Whiteside elementary on Jan. 25, the health authority posted on its school exposures webpage.
“Exposures occur when a case of COVID-19 was present in school during their infectious period,” reads VCH’s school exposures webpage.
“In the vast majority of cases, there is no transmission in the school setting.”
Whiteside is the third school in Richmond School District to be flagged for a COVID-19 exposure so far in 2021. Previously, VCH reported exposures at Palmer secondary (Jan. 4 to 5) and MacNeill secondary (Jan. 20 to 22).
