There's been exposure to a positive COVID-19 case at the Harry Camsell Elementary School in Hay River, N.W.T., according to the school's principal.

Contact tracing is underway and exposure notification letters have been sent out to those who had contact with the positive case, Carolyn Carroll told parents and guardians in a letter that was posted to Facebook by the Hay River District Education Authority around noon on Sunday.

The letter states that the school would stay open on Monday for all classes and students who aren't isolating.
