Students at Miniota School have moved to remote learning after nine cases of COVID-19 have been linked to the small kindergarten to Grade 8 school in southwestern Manitoba, a school division official says. Public health declared an outbreak at the school and told school officials Wednesday afternoon Miniota would have to make the shift to remote learning, David said. But in such a small, tight-knit region, he said he thinks both school-based transmission and community spread are possible. So far, more than 40 close contacts have also been identified in connection with the school cases, David said. Kids stay home as anxiety growsWorry about the outbreak has also begun to spread among parents at the school, David said.
