The provincial government has released protocols for positive COVID-19 tests in Saskatchewan schools. The education and health ministry plan says if a child, teacher or staff member tests positive, public health will step in. Outbreak threshold: two cases in same schoolIf two students test positive for COVID-19 in the same school, an outbreak will be declared. However, the declaration won't necessarily trigger a school closure; its aim is to mobilize a coordinated response by public health. In all cases, public health will outline specific actions — including cleaning or different classroom layouts — before regular instruction will be safe to resume.
