Two more Williams Lake schools are reporting COVID-19 exposures Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021.

Marie Sharpe and Nesika elementary schools both had a member of their school community test positive for COVID-19.

School District 27 superintendent Chris van der Mark said both notices are in relation to possible exposure to coronavirus last week.

No further action is needed in relation to the Marie Sharpe exposure, while one class will be required to self-isolate relating to Nesika.
