Ontario’s top physician, Dr. David Williams, is expected to give the government advice on school re-openings today.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce says the government will make a decision based on the advice and announce it with time to prepare.
Schools in COVID-19 hot spots and some other regions like ours are still teaching students entirely online and are expected to reopen for in-person learning by Feb. 10.
Recently, the Council of Ontario Medical Officers of Health wrote a letter to education ministers asking for the deployment of extra measures that would help children get back into classrooms safely while also stating that schools should be allowed to reopen before other public health restrictions are eased.
