Fraser Health has issued a four-day COVID-19 exposure notice for Seabird Island Community School.
According to the Fraser Health website, a person with COVID-19 was at the community school from Tuesday, Jan. 5 through Friday, Jan. 8.
Fraser Health defines an exposure as one person with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 infection, who attended school during their infectious period. These exposures are listed on a public website.
Following a confirmed COVID-19 case in a school, public health officers will perform contact tracing with the positive individual. In the event staff and students need to self-monitor or self-isolate, Fraser Health will be in direct contact with them.
In the past year, the Agassiz area has seen several COVID-19 exposures.

Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 should self-isolate and get tested as soon as possible.
