The Prairie Valley School Division, along with the Regina public and Catholic divisions, are all taking preventative measures to help stop a possible spread of COVID-19. Those include disinfecting high-touched areas such as light switches, water fountains and other areas.

Those school divisions and the University of Regina are all following the advice from the Saskatchewan Health Authority on how they should approach things.

The university and Regina Public Schools have said there isn’t any indication that classes need to be cancelled at this time.

As the university continues to monitor the situation, planning is underway in case there is a need to reschedule or cancel face-to-face classes as well as final exams.
