LONDON, ONT. The Thames Valley District School Board is temporarily closing Ashley Oaks Public School and moving all classes to remote learning because of widespread exposure to COVID-19. A large number of staff and students are now required to quarantine effective immediately. Students will move from in-person to remote learning starting Thursday until the end of the spring break on April 19. Teachers will be reaching out to families with information regarding remote learning. All other programs before and after school, as well as spring break activities, are also cancelled. This comes on the same day the board issued a news release stating schools are safe and will remain open for in-person learning during the provincial four-week stay-at-home order that begins Thursday.
LONDON, ONT. School and health officials say classrooms remain safe, even with active COVID-19 cases in 30 London-area schools. According to the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) website, there are currently 26 schools in the region with at least one or more active COVID-19 cases, but only a small fraction have led to outbreaks. Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) Medical Officer of Health Dr. Chris Mackie says the region has not really seen much spread in schools. The vast majority of cases diagnosed in school were acquired at home. We ve seen very little transmission within schools, really only a handful of cases among the tens of thousands of students that have been in school for the last two months, so schools are not a place of high transmission in this area.
