WINDSOR, ONT. A high school student at Windsor Vincent Massey Secondary School has completed a survey of his peers, with an alarming number of respondents indicating their mental health has “worsened” during the pandemic. Rishi Naidu, a Grade 11 student, initially posted the survey through social media and circulated within his peer group at school. But responses started pouring in from high-schoolers across Windsor-Essex and Chatham Kent. “You’ve only got four years of high school. And going into high school, everyone’s saying man, these are going to be the best four years of your life,” Naidu says. “And now you’re missing out on all those things, and it’s taken its toll on people.”

WINDSOR, ONT. Chatham Kent’s Medical Officer of Health is now unsure when his district will receive the vaccine for COVID-19. Dr. David Colby hoped the first batch would arrive in the last week of January, but said, “the slowdown in production has thrown those plans into disarray.” Colby maintained seniors and those who work with the elderly remain a top priority to receive the initial round of shots. Currently there are about 1,000 seniors living in long term care homes, in addition to 1,240 staff and 446 caregivers in the municipality. Colby and other Chatham-Kent officials are encouraged the rate of transmission is dropping as the number of active cases fell by 11 since Wednesday and now stands at 80.
