For the third time in a little over a week, a member of the Kelowna Secondary School community tested positive for COVID-19.

School District 23 released a statement Tuesday night confirming the case, but did not provide any information about whether it was a student, faculty member, or any other person.

The Interior Health website lists exposure dates from October 28-30.
