“We were anticipating a shipment of Moderna (vaccine) to come this week and that shipment has been delayed,” Oglaza said Tuesday. He said it’s caused delays across Ontario.
Last Updated Saturday, January 30, 2021 2:35PM EST Ontario’s medical officers of health are calling on the Ford government to reopen all schools first before reopening other sectors of the province as transmission of COVID-19 appears to be decreasing. Chair of The Council of Ontario Medical Officers of Health Dr. Paul Roumeliotis penned a letter on Friday to Education Minister Stephen Lecce and Health Minister Christine Elliott. The letter stresses that the “safe reopening of all schools in Ontario is essential” even before community restrictions are lifted. We think now that the time is right. That we re seeing more and more schools open across Ontario before the lockdown indeed has been removed and this should be continued across Ontario where the numbers are appropriate. Again, not to wait for essential businesses to open but if we see levels going down in the right direction we should make that move across Ontario, Roumeliotis tells CP24.
