“We know this may be disruptive to families, however, by shifting these activities outdoors, they can continue in a lower risk setting,” said Hinshaw.
She adds the province’s website will be updated to reflect this information.
“The best thing we can all do to reduce cases in schools and all other settings is to stop this virus from spreading in our communities.
Currently, there are active alerts or outbreaks in 478 schools in the province, representing about 20 per cent of all schools in Alberta.
