Three West Vancouver Schools reported new exposures. Westcot Elementary had one on November 26 to 26, West Vancouver Secondary had one on November 26 to 27, and Irwin Park Elementary had one on November 26 to 27.

These exposures mean someone came to school while infectious, and do not necessarily mean everyone at the school was exposed. Contact tracers are notifying the patients’ close contacts directly.
