Vancouver Coastal Health contact tracers actively work to notify people who were close contacts of the identified coronavirus cases. The health authority says those who were not contacted directly can continue attending school as normal.

Some Metro Vancouver schools such as Laura Secord Elementary and West Vancouver Secondary don’t appear on VCH’s exposure list even though the school districts have confirmed someone in the school communities tested positive.
