The medical officer of health for the Thunder Bay District says people should prepare to move back into lockdown.
The district has exceeded 300 active COVID-19 cases this week, with 257 reported over the last seven days.
The Lakehead public and Thunder Bay Catholic district school boards confirmed they will follow the recommendation, starting on March 1, and will provide more details about the transition once they receive further information from public health.
Four schools Westgate Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Kingsway Park Public School, St. James Public School and Woodcrest Public School were closed for in-person learning this week after COVID-19 outbreaks were declared. Cases have also been identified at several other schools, including one announced Thursday at Ogden Community School.
Lakehead District School Board trustees earlier this week passed a resolution requesting that the local health unit and ministries of education and health allow them to shift all learning online. At the time, the board had 570 students –representing over seven per cent of its enrolment – and 55 teachers in isolation because of potential COVID-19 exposure.
