Coming from the United States and found mainly in the north-east of the country, this particularly insidious sub-variety has already made its way to Quebec.
School staff advocate vigilance as well as good citizenship.
“People who have a fever for any reason, COVID or otherwise, should stay home while they have a fever. We hope parents rely on these instructions from Public Health. Not to give two Tylenols in the morning and then give two more in the lunch box.” Saying, “It’ll be fine, if you don’t go, you’ll call home,” asks Melanie Huppert, president of the Independent Federation of Education.
Now that winter is well established and with the arrival of this new sub variant, the issue of ventilation in schools has come to the fore.
The minister came to tell us that, well, there were about 725 chapters that were deemed problematic last fall. And right away, he said it would increase. 725 classes, which is about 20,000 students,” laments Eric Gingras, CSQ Chair.
The Office of the Minister of Education confirms that the governorate’s schools are safe and the air quality is adequate.
However, he admits that improvements still need to be made.
To this end, it is stated that $225 million will be invested this year in the governorate’s schools.
