A COVID-19 outbreak of 10-plus cases is ongoing at Fireside School in Cochrane, according to the province's school status report. 

The school released an exposure warning most recently on Nov. 29 stating the exposure may have happened sometime between Nov. 23-25. 

In-class learning will continue unless students are otherwise notified by Alberta Health Services, the letter to parents reads. 

"Our thoughts are with the individual(s) who have COVID-19," it continues. "We wish them a quick recovery and look forward to their return to school when they are well and able to return." 

Cochrane Christian Academy, Elizabeth Barrett Elementary School and École Manachaban Middle School are also listed under alert as of Thursday, Dec. 2, meaning between two and four cases have been identified in the past 14 days. 

A school is removed from the alert list when there have been fewer than two confirmed cases in the past 14 days who were in school while infectious, the government's website reads.
