Descriptions sorted by Back to School
It isn't mandatory for children from Kindergarten to grade 3 to wear masks. I've heard masks can become 'unsafe' if not worn properly...is there any truth in that?
Shouldn't schools be doing random tests to look for asymptomatic cases?
Are there certain elements in soaps that must be present to ensure hands are cleaned properly?
Would isolation 2 weeks before school starts be recommended to minimize risk? Should children get tested before starting school?
We received the OCDSB guidance late this afternoon, and there is indication that any unfavourable response to the daily screening questions means that you must keep your child(ren) home. Can we expect (as it was for summer camps) that such questions will include simple cold symptoms?
How to lower the risk of spread during lunch for the kids, when sitting at their desks and wearing no masks and talking/eating with their friends at the desks next to them?
In terms of social aspects that make digital learning successful, is it with the teacher specifically, other students or both?
Will CHEO do testing for kids on the spectrum who won't tolerate the nose swab?
Can you elaborate more on kindergarten classes?
Does the virus live on surfaces? How will the school clean surfaces, washrooms, shared supplies, etc.?
The OCDSB document does not provide a lot of guidance around what schools will do on ventilation and the like. Will it be left to individual schools to figure out?
If one of the kids becomes infected, will the school close entirely? Or is there a tolerance level?
