's provincial health officer says the province has not seen any COVID-19 outbreaks in schools since classes reopened in September thanks to a robust system of contact tracers who are quickly isolating people who test positive. "I am confident that it is working and working well," Henry said, as she announced 82 new COVID-19 cases and one new death, continuing a recent downward trend. Henry clarified the public health terms "outbreak" and "exposures" when applied to schools. Schools have reported exposures, when a single person tests positive and has been in the school during their infectious period. Henry also acknowledged the province has stumbled at times when communicating COVID-19 exposures in schools.
