TORONTO – Infections are rapidly and steadily increasing among students and teachers. To raise the alarm, and at the same time to ask for the restoration of the mandatory nature of masks, is the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (Oecta).
TORONTO – Since Monday, Ontario residents have been able to shop, watch a movie and watch a hockey game without wearing a mask for the first time in about a year and a half. The province has in fact revoked the obligation of this personal protective equipment in most public spaces.
TORONTO – The controversy shows no sign of subsiding after the government revoked the obligation to wear masks, as well as in numerous public facilities, even in schools in Ontario.
TORONTO – From tomorrow goodbye to masks in Ontario. At least in most facilities including schools and kindergartens. The breakthrough was announced last week by Chief Medical Officer of Health of Ontario Kieran Moore due to the general improvement in the epidemiological situation. To abandon this personal protective equipment in the public transport sector, long-term care, retirement homes and other health facilities, reception centers, prisons and homes for people with developmental disabilities, instead we will have to wait a little longer, to be precise until April 27th.
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.
