The number of active COVID-19 cases has risen drastically in the past 24 hours reaching 19 active cases with over 60 people currently in isolation. The largest volume of cases at this time is with 4-5-year-olds, with impacts at Step by Step and Kateri School.

These efforts have so far been unsuccessful, increasing the risk of having contagious individuals with COVID-19 in the community without their knowledge.
