The seventh grader who attended Churchill High School this week before receiving a positive COVID-19 checkup did “everything he intended to do,” the province’s most sensible doctor said Thursday.
At a press conference Thursday, Dr. Brent Roussin showed that the student, now isolated, dropped out of school on Tuesday afternoon after being contacted about his outcome.
The student in Room 20 asymptomatic on a Winnipeg Transit bus and for “limited time” internal construction on Tuesday, the first day of school. The Manitoba Department of Public Health first issued an alert about the case Wednesday afternoon, after contacting the student and the school administration.
It is unclear when and why the asymptomatic student was reviewed and how she contracted COVID-19. Other asymptomatic people waiting for the effects of control don’t have to isolate themselves.
Citing problems of confidentiality and non-public physical fitness, Roussin unveiled some main points on Thursday: he showed that the student was not very in contact with some other case and that public physical fitness did not advise to be evaluated or isolated.
“The more we look at this scenario or verify to identify a user, the less likely the next user who may have mild symptoms will undergo a test, so we all have to be on the same boat. “Roussin said.
He begged members of the public not to stigmatize the student and suggested, even with mild symptoms, that he be tested.
“No one blames you for having COVID-19, ” said Roussin.
It was discovered that Churchill’s case, which according to the authorities was not acquired at the school, was of low threat because the student was dressed in a mask on the walk and in the school building. After the fog and cleaning of the night, the categories resumed on Thursday.
After school day, one of more than 700 students at Riverview area school said attendance at Room 20 declined on Thursday, with only six of the 15 students in class. “I think the parents of all the other young people will have to have panicked, ” he said.
