All classes at Martensville High School are movingonline for two weeks after an outbreak of COVID-19, the province of Saskatchewan announced Wednesday.

There are at least four cases at the school in Martensville, just north of Saskatoon, the province said.

Classes will move online until Nov. 23, after which the school will reopen at Level 3 of the provincialSafe Saskatchewan School Plan, meaning reduced in-class learning. The school will use a hybrid model of half online and half in-person learning until the Christmas break.

The division said it will rely on guidance from the Saskatchewan Health Authority on how to proceed afterthe Christmas break.
