It’s unclear if a student or staff member tested positive for the virus, but the board noted that the school remains open and no classrooms have been closed.
Five cases in Guelph schools were reported last week — one at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School and one each at four elementary schools in the city.
All of the schools remain open.
COVID-19 outbreaks continue at two child-care facilities in the city.
Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health confirmed one case at Kids Come First Daycare near Gordon Street and Arkell Road, and another case at the Guelph YMCA off the Hanlon Expressway.
