WINDSOR, ONT. The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board reported four new cases of COVID-19 at four of its schools Monday. New single cases were reported at Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary School, Holy Cross Catholic Elementary School and St. Angela Catholic Elementary School. Another case was reported at St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic High School bringing the number of cases there to three. While Monday marked the first day of virtual learning for all Windsor-Essex Schools as the region’s medical officer of health, Dr. Wajid Ahmed, ordered schools to close, the WECDSB felt “it was still necessary to keep the school communities informed about the situation,” a news release from the board stated.

WINDSOR, ONT. Winter break has not been extended, however, students will be home starting Monday for a full week of virtual learning before the holidays begin. “I just really hope that things can go back to normal because I’m kind of losing social life I guess, I’m losing my time with friends,” said Evan Greenacre, a Grade 10 Walkerville Collegiate student. Students and staff will be studying the latest COVID numbers, wondering if a return to class will be possible on Jan. 4. “I really hope that we can go back because apparently the vaccine is coming out in January which I really hope so things can actually just start going back to normal, hopefully,” said Greenacre.
