The Kids May Be Heading Back to School

Ontario's top doctor hinting he wants schools to reopen

Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health says it's time to reopen schools, at least in regions with low COVID -19 case counts.

Doctor David Williams says he would like to see students return to their classrooms before the province enters Step One of its reopening plan in mid-June.

Williams adding " We're confident that we can be supportive of making sure the schools are safe for everyone, including students and teachers and other staff working there,"

Yesterday, group of researchers penned a letter to the Premier urging him to reopen schools warning we are on the cusp of a generational catastrophe fearing children's mental health is at risk.

Dr. Williams says there will be an announcement soon.
