A student at Lyneham High School has tested positive to COVID-19, plunging a second Canberra school community into quarantine as the ACT's exposure sites grow to more than 75.
The student is the 10th case in a group of 28 active COVID-19 cases now recorded in the capital.
According to an email sent to staff and parents last night, the student was infectious at the school from Monday to Thursday last week.
All staff, students and parents who attended the school on those days between 8:30am and 3:30pm are considered close contacts and must isolate for 14 days.
The case is the second student to test positive for the virus in Canberra's current outbreak, after a child at Gold Creek School tested positive on Friday.
Among the new close contact exposure sites is a second Club Lime location, at CISAC in Bruce, a music rehearsal room at UC High School in Kaleen and a public transport bus route from Dickson to Kaleen High School.
Two major Woolworths supermarkets — Dickson and Charnwood — have also been listed as new casual contact exposure sites.
Close contacts are advised to:
- complete the ACT Contact Declaration Form
- immediately quarantine
- get tested for COVID-19 as advised by ACT Health
- remain in quarantine until advised further by ACT Health, even if you get a negative test result.
