This means there are now 10 active cases directly impacting Holy Spirit schools.

All close contacts of the new case at St. Francis have been notified and are required to quarantine.

It could not be stated if the infected individual was a staff member or a student.

As of April 30, four schools within the division are impacted by cases:

• One at St. Francis Junior High School (Lethbridge)
