Contact tracers will work to contact the coronavirus patient’s close contacts, and school boards say those who have not been contacted directly can still come to school.

Gladstone Secondary, which is near Nanaimo and Kingsway, remains open despite the coronavirus exposure.

Vancouver Coastal Health lists current school exposures on its website, however some schools have reported confirmed coronavirus cases that don’t appear on VCH’s list.
