TORONTO – “School trustees are not doctors so they should simply follow the advice of Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Kieran Moore.” Without mincing words, the premier of the province Doug Ford discourages the school boards from asking for extensions to the revocation of the obligation to use the mask set for March 21 and triggers the controversy. Trustees from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) have formally requested that the province suspend the decision indefinitely due to concerns about the potential spread of Covid-19 when students return to school after the March Break.

Morti per o con il Covid-19? L’Ontario rivede tutti i dati

TORONTO – Altri 20 decessi si sono aggiunti, ieri, alla tragica “conta” dei morti in Ontario. Ma il totale, da inizio pandemia, non è di 12.638 (12.618 decessi fino all’altro ieri, più i venti di ieri), bensì di 12.149.
