COVID-19 exposures have been logged at two more Richmond elementary schools by Vancouver Coastal Health.

At Tomsett elementary (9671 Odlin Rd.), potential exposure dates are Oct. 4 to 7 and Oct. 13. At Diefenbaker elementary (4511 Hermitage Dr.), the listed dates are Oct. 12 to 14.

According to the health authority’s website, posting potential exposure events in schools is intended for public awareness. Those who have not been directly contacted by Public Health should keep their children in class, continue to do a daily health check and seek testing if symptomatic.

There have now been three documented schools with potential exposures in Richmond, with the third at General Currie elementary (8220 General Currie Rd.) in late September.
