“The Auckland Regional Public Health Service has investigated and confirms that there are no close contacts.
“Public health considers that the risk to any other student or staff is very low and the school remains closed.”
The student and family continue to isolate themselves and their health and well-being are monitored.
Principal Irene Ogden assured families that the student is doing well and while she understands that some parents want to keep their children at home, the school remains open and safe.
Both students are associated with the Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship church subgroup.
