Another local school is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak in a cohort.

An additional student case has been linked to a previously reported case at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Elementary School in Kitchener.

That classroom had already been dismissed.

The school says no additional classrooms or cohorts will be dismissed.

As of Tuesday's COVID-19 update, four of the 12 active outbreaks in the region were affecting schools.
