There’s a delay in kids returning to class in Ontario in January, but not much of one.
Students across Ontario were supposed to return to school on Jan. 4th- (January 3rd locally) following the winter break, but now will not do so until January 5th.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore made the announcement on this afternoon following a Provincial cabinet meeting.
The government is to provide non-fit-tested N95 masks for staff in schools and licensed child care settings and is sending an additional supply of high-quality three-ply cloth masks that are “strongly encouraged and free for students and children in January.”
Only low-contact indoor sports and safe extra-curricular activities will be permitted, and an additional inventory of standalone HEPA filter units are being deployed.
