Another Tri-City school has been hit with a coronavirus exposure — this time at Moody Middle School of the Arts.
The Nov. 30 exposure is the first time Fraser Health has flagged the Port Moody school with a COVID-19 exposure.
There are now three schools under active investigation for COVID-19 exposures in School District 43, the other two being Dr. Charles Best secondary and Roy Stibbs elementary.
According to the health authority, a school “exposure” usually 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, and an “outbreak” indicates “multiple individuals with lab-confirmed COVID-19 infection” and that “transmission is likely widespread.”
