A case of COVID-19 was confirmed at a school in Brandon on Saturday — the second case in a Manitoba school identified during the first week of classes. The public health investigation into the case suggests the person did not contract the illness at school, the province's release said. The first case of COVID-19 identified at a school in Manitoba was announced earlier this week, when a Grade 7 student at Churchill High School tested positive for the illness. Most of Manitoba's new COVID-19 cases have been linked to close contacts of the illness, provincial data shows. Four of Saturday's 17 new COVID-19 cases in Manitoba were people under the age of 20, according to provincial data.
