Just one Delta school is on Fraser Health’s latest list of schools which have had recent COVID-19 exposures.

According to the health region’s list updated Friday, Heath Elementary had an exposure event May 27 and 28.

No other public or independent schools are on the latest list, a big difference from FHA’S list from May 25 when 16 schools were listed as having exposures.

Youth ages and up in B.C. can now register to get vaccinated, but immunizations will not be held in schools.
