PICTURE BUTTE, AB – St. Catherine School in Picture Butte is going online.

The Holy Spirit Catholic School Division has confirmed two new cases of COVID-19 at the school. Due to its small size and the number of teachers required to quarantine, grades 6-9 will be moving to online learning until March 30.

All close contacts of the cases have been notified and are required to isolate. The division could not report if the patients are staff members and/or students.

As of Thursday night (March 18), the division has 15 active cases.
