Alberta has identified its first likely case of COVID-19 transmission within a school, the province's top doctor said Friday. Transmission within a school "was not unexpected and is not a cause for alarm," Hinshaw said. Waverley School in Edmonton is the first in Alberta likely to have a case of COVID-19 transmission within the school. (Jason Franson/Canadian Press)Hinshaw said that as of Friday morning, 78 individuals attended school while infectious with COVID-19. Despite Waverley School having the first likely case of in-school transmission in Alberta, the people in the school community "are no different from anyone else," Hinshaw said.
