Queen Elizabeth School is on the province’s “watch” list because it’s dealing with a coronavirus outbreak of five or more cases.

Norwood and the Victoria School both have outbreaks as well, though theirs are limited to four or fewer individuals.

The district says students who have to stay home and self-isolate will receive learning supports.
