This week’s Hamilton schools COVID-19 cases and closures : Oct. 18 to Oct. 22

The following is a summary of active COVID-19 cases reported by the two Hamilton-Wentworth school boards between Oct. 18 and Oct. 22.

Cases that are not linked to outbreaks were not necessarily transmitted in the schools, but may have been transmitted elsewhere in the community.

Some cases from earlier in the week may since be considered resolved and not listed. All cases are among students unless otherwise noted.

Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB)

• Nora Henderson S.S. — Cases: 1
• Orchard Park S.S. — Cases: 1, linked to an outbreak
• Pauline Johnson E.S. — Cases: 1
• Parkway Learning Centre — Cases: 1

• Sir Wilfrid Laurier E.S. — Cases: 1, linked to an outbreak
• South Meadow E.S. — Cases: 2
• Westwood E.S. — Cases: 1

The HWDSB COVID-19 advisory page does not list when classrooms and high school cohorts are closed because of a new case. When that happens, children are sent home to learn remotely during a quarantine period of at least 10 days.
