COVID-19和春假

这条消息于3月25日星期四发送给家长/监护人。

在春假期间，阿尔伯塔卫生服务部将继续与CBE合作，确保如果在学校中有任何学生可能传染了COVID-19，学校社区会得到通知。一旦由AHS确认，将向学校社区发送一个总体通知，标明接触的班级和/或课程以及日期。

如果您的孩子在假期期间接到COVID-19阳性的结果，您无需通知学校。阿尔伯塔卫生服务部将根据其接触追踪工作通知CBE所有阳性病例。在收到AHS的病例信息后，CBE仍将遵循我们的通知流程。

在冬假期间，AHS在接触追踪和通知方面遇到了延迟和重要积压。当时，CBE以我们的预警流程支持接触追踪。目前的情况并非如此，接触追踪和阳性病例通知由阿尔伯塔卫生服务部及时提供。

如果确定阳性病例后是关注变异病例，阿尔伯塔卫生服务部将进行后续跟进，以确保找到并通知所有密切接触者。

随着我们社区和学校中COVID-19病例的持续增加，我们敦促您及您的家人继续遵循所有当前的健康措施。这些努力将有助于在4月6日返校时减少COVID-19对我们学校的影响。

此外，该省首席医疗官Dina Hinshaw博士还向阿尔伯塔省的居民发布了春假指南。其中包括强烈建议不要进行省际旅行，以及提醒不要在省内旅行或与除您的家庭同伴外的任何人聚集在室内。

有关更详细的信息和指南，请访问阿尔伯塔政府网站上发布的这个简短的春假视频。

谢谢您，祝您度过一个安全、轻松和愉快的春假。

COVID-19 and Spring Break

This message was sent out to parents/guardians​ on Thursday, March 25.

During the spring break, Alberta Health Services will continue to work with the CBE to ensure school communities are notified if any students may have been contagious with COVID-19 while in school. A general notice identifying the class and/or courses and dates of exposure will be sent to the school community once it is confirmed by AHS. 

You do not need to notify the school if your child receives a positive COVID-19 result over the break. Alberta Health Services will be notifying the CBE of all positive cases based on their contact tracing work. The CBE will still follow our notification process after receiving case information from AHS.

Over the winter break, AHS was experiencing delays and a significant backlog in contact tracing and notifications. At the time, the CBE supported contact tracing with our pre-alert process. This is not the current situation and contact tracing and positive case notifications are coming from AHS in a very timely manner.

If the positive case is later identified as a variant of concern, Alberta Health Services will follow up to ensure all close contacts are identified and notified.

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in our community and in our schools, we urge you and your family to continue following all current health measures. These efforts will help to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on our schools when we return on April 6.

Dr. Dina Hinshaw, the province’s chief medical officer of health, has also issued spring break guidance to Albertans. This includes a strong recommendation against interprovincial travel, as well as a reminder not to travel within the province, or gather indoors with anyone other than your household cohort.

More detailed information and guidance is available in this short spring break video posted on the Alberta government website.

Thank you, and we wish you a safe, relaxing and enjoyable spring break.
