A case of COVID-19 has been confirmed at a Winnipeg high school, Manitoba public health officials said Wednesday evening. The Grade 7 student was in class at Winnipeg's Churchill High School on Tuesday, and used Winnipeg Transit while asymptomatic, the province said in a news release. The school will be open for classes Thursday, according to Radean Carter, the senior information officer for the Winnipeg School Division, which Churchill High School falls under. Masks are mandatory on Winnipeg Transit buses, plus in all city-owned buildings. Churchill High School is not being elevated under the province's colour-coded pandemic response system, given the low risk and lack of close contacts, the provincial release said.
