NWSS winds up the school year with one more COVID-19 exposure

New Westminster Secondary School families have received what may well be the school district's final COVID-19 exposure notice (fingers crossed).

NWSS saw an exposure on June 25, following on the heels of a previously announced exposure on June 21, 22 and 24. Families received the latest notification on Friday, July 2.

The new NWSS exposure was the only new local case reported on the Fraser Health school exposures website over the weekend. 

With the 2020/21 school year now behind us, here's a look at how the COVID-19 situation looked in New West's schools this year:
