A possible exposure to COVID-19 has been reported for a school near Fort St. James.

Nak'albun Elementary School has been added to Northern Health's webpage for potential exposures and outbreaks.

Someone who tested positive for the virus attended the school during Sept. 16-18, the posting indicates.

The school is run by the Nak'azdli Whut'en First Nation just south of the community, 150 kilometres west of Prince George.

Northern Health says a notification doesn't necessarily mean a student has been exposed to Covid-19.

"If you do not receive a phone call or letter from Public Health, your child should continue to attend school," Northern Health says on the page.

"If your child's school has been notified of an exposure, no action is required unless you are contacted by public health or are otherwise directed by school officials."
