Original Story:

Two elementary schools in the South Okanagan and one middle school in Penticton have reported new COVID-19 exposures.

According to the Interior Health school exposure list, KVR Middle School in Penticton had potential exposures on Sept. 28 and 29. This means people in that school community tested positive and Interior Health is just reporting the exposures publicly on Oct. 12.

In School District 53, Tuc-el-Nuit Elementary school in Oliver reported a potential exposure on Oct. 1 and Osoyoos Elementary has potential exposures on Oct. 4 and 5.

The new exposures in Penticton join the previously listed exposures at Parkway Elementary on Sept. 27 and 28 and at Skaha Lake Middle School on Sept. 28.
