Several COVID-19 cases are being reported in schools across the United Counties.

On Thursday, the Upper Canada District School Board reported cases in Morrisburg Public School, and Oxford on Rideau Public School in Kemptville.

Both schools remain open, and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit and Eastern Ontario Health Unit are working with them and communicating with anyone who may have had a high risk exposure.

Another case was reported by the UCDSB earlier this week at North Grenville District High School, which also remains open.
