Ontario students returning to school next month will play on sports teams, use tools in music classes, spend trips in the box and throw the mask outdoors.
The government unveiled its back-to-school plan, which includes resuming extracurricular activities, comfort regulations on the use of shared spaces such as libraries and cafeterias, and continues to require indoor masks for first graders onwards.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce won’t have to answer questions about the plan until Wednesday, when he will announce an additional $25 million investment in ventilation for independent HEPA filtration units.
Schools with mechanical ventilation will have to use the highest quality cleaning clearances imaginable and turn on their systems at least two hours before the start of school, and schools without them will have to have separate HEPA clearance sets in all classrooms.
The plan focuses on outdoor activities, allowing children to play at recess with friends in other categories, and the back-up allows them percentages of materials, such as toys in kindergarten.
Students will be provided on user for full days, days a week, unless they have opted for distance learning.
Schools will rely primarily on families to assess COVID-19 symptoms at home, but may want to check testing periods where transmission is likely to be greatest, such as after the holidays. they have not yet been updated, however, they are expected to be replaced before September.
The plan states that protocols would likely be canceled over time, depending on vaccination rates, but it doesn’t make injections mandatory for students.
More to come.
