For the fourth time in as many months, Prince George Secondary School (PGSS) has been marked for possible COVID-19 exposure.
Northern Health has listed the institution for the dates of Jan. 6 and 7, the third and fourth dates students returned to the classroom from a two-week winter break.
The authority says students and staff should monitor themselves for any virus-related symptoms as some may have come into contact with someone who tested positive during that time frame.
To date, 18 Prince George-based schools have been flagged at least once for COVID-19, 15 of which are associated with School District 57 (SD57) with self-monitoring periods for most already have ended.
PGSS is the second SD57 member to be alerted for COVID-19 exposure following the 2020-21 winter break after DP Todd was notified for Jan. 4-6.
