BARRIE, ONT. Students across Simcoe Muskoka could see the return of in-person learning before the end of the academic year. With just over one month before summer break, Ontario s chief medical officer of health expressed an interest in a regional approach to returning students to the classroom before the province starts its gradual reopening in mid-June. Ideally, I d like the schools open before we enter Step 1 of our exit strategy, Dr. David Williams said. According to Dr. Williams, most public health units have said they would support schools reopening soon with COVID-19 cases declining steadily. The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit recorded a 12 per cent dip in infections week over week.
