Fraser Health has flagged a third Coquitlam elementary school for a COVID-19 exposure.
The latest exposure occurred Oct. 6 at Mundy Road elementary, according to the health authority’s exposure portal.
The school, which sits at the corner of Austin Avenue and Mundy Street, is the sixth in School District 43 to be flagged for a COVID-19 exposure, though the first, at Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam, has now been removed from Fraser Health’s school exposure list.
School District 43 School Exposures
According to Fraser Health, a school “exposure” indicates a single person with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 infection attended school during their infectious period. A school “cluster,” on the other hand, indicates possible school-based transmission with two or more lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 attending school while infectious. Finally, an “outbreak” at a school means “multiple individuals with lab-confirmed COVID-19 infection” and that “transmission is likely widespread.”
