CALGARY SCHOOL ADDED TO WATCH CATEGORY

St. Wilfrid Elementary School, one of seven schools where Alberta Health Services has declared an outbreak, is now under watch.
"Unfortunately we kind of saw this coming down the line even in March because we didn't hear for six months in the summer, we didn't hear a proactive approach," said Wing Li with Support our Students Alberta. "It sounds like the government is being very reactive... so unfortunately we're not surprised."
According to province data, there are 51 cases of COVID-19 at 40 different schools.
