The moms who run the B.C. School Covid Tracker report that almost half of the schools in the province now have COVID-19 exposure events, and that is true of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows schools.
The B.C. School Covid Tracker added 32 schools to their list on Tuesday, including Pitt Meadows secondary from School District 42. The citizen initiative to track the pandemic in schools now reports that 47.5 per cent of the schools in B.C. have exposure events. These incidents could be a single case of the virus, or multiple staff and students with cases β which may not be termed an outbreak.
