Island Health has added three Greater Victoria schools to their COVID-19 exposure list.

Tillicum Elementary and Tillicum Community schools — located on Albina Street in Victoria — experienced exposures on Nov. 1, according to Island Health.

The exposure list also says Margaret Jenkins Elementary — located on Fairfield Road — experienced exposures on Nov. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

An exposure is defined by Island Health as a single person with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 infection who attended school during their infectious period.

Island Health says a child can continue to attend school if a parent or guardian does not receive a phone call or letter from public health.

Should a parent or guardian see a notification on Island Health’s school exposure site, it does not necessarily mean their child has been exposed to COVID-19.
