The Pembina Trails School Division has cancelled two student trips planned for March because of the novel coronavirus.

A group of students at Ecole Secondaire Oak Park High School were to go to Thailand, and students at Fort Richmond Collegiate were planning on going to Italy.

The school division says it is carefully following COVID-19 travel advice and advisories set out by the federal government.

Earlier this week, a group of students in the Winnipeg School Division had to change travel plans due to the virus.
