LONDON, ONT. --
With the new COVID-19 regulations, some may want to revert to 'happier times' by reading a familiar book, watching an old show on TV, while others may look to food for comfort.
Finding that popular candy from their childhood may just hit the sweet spot.
Andrew Ariganello and Nikita Ariganello, owners of the Sweet Life Candy & Pop Shop in London do just that.
"Andrew worked in management for a major grocery chain for over 10 years in the Toronto area, and Nikita was working two jobs, while in University; we decided we wanted to start something together, where we could bring our expertise and experience in one place and bring unique and fun candy and treats to London!"

Despite 30 area schools with active COVID-19 cases, officials say schools remain safe


 
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."
