All Grade 12 students at John Diefenbaker High School in northwest Calgary have been told to stay home and take online classes for two weeks after "a number of positive cases" of COVID-19 were identified, the school says. "Due to staffing capacity issues, the decision has been made to move all Grade 12 students to online classes from Thursday, Nov. 12, until Friday, Nov. The school says it is working closely with Alberta Health Services to "ensure necessary measures continue to be in place to protect all staff and students," the letter says. Alberta reported 672 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday afternoon, but did not release the number of active cases across the province, or the regional breakdown. Sources have told CBC News that the government will introduce new measures on Thursday afternoon, but that those measures are anticipated to be modest and targeted.
