Ottawa Valley school first to close in Ontario following COVID-19 outbreak
Classes at Fellowes High School halted Wednesday after 3rd staff member tests positive
Health officials have shut down a high school in the Ottawa Valley after a third staff member tested positive for COVID-19 — making it the first school in Ontario to close since the new school year began.
All in-person classes at Fellowes High School in Pembroke, Ont., were halted Wednesday after the latest case was linked to two previous ones, also involving staff members.
In an emailed statement to CBC News, Renfrew County District School Board spokesperson Jonathan Laderoute said the closure will remain in place until further notice.
