Back-To-School In The Pandemic: How Does Your Province Stack Up?

Provinces have revealed reopening plans in recent weeks and they’re chock-full of details on mask-wearing, class sizes and cleaning protocols. But they’re different for every province.

“This is a robust plan that puts the health and safety of our children, teachers and staff at the top of our list,” she said earlier this week. Mask-wearing will not be mandated in Alberta, and schools will actually be the exception to mandatory indoor mask policies in Calgary and Edmonton. Hinshaw said the government is still assessing the viability of mask mandates in schools and could shift course. “That question is something we want to evaluate carefully, and we are always looking at emerging evidence because we want to make sure that our guidance is based on the most up-to-date evidence that is available,” she said.

In B.C., regular class sizes will be maintained for all students but they will be grouped into learning cohorts of 60 people for lower grade and 120 people for upper grades. These cohorts will share things such as breaks between classes, recess and lunch in order to limit interaction with other students.On Thursday, Henry said this doesn’t mean physical distancing doesn’t apply.

“There are options, we’re not saying that every child has to be in there,” Henry said of B.C.’s plan. “We know that there will be hybrid situations needed in some situations.”All provinces that have released school reopening plans thus far have touted robust cleaning and sanitization protocols, with some investing large sums of money into hand-washing stations and extra janitorial staff.

risky people should NOT go back 2 school

so k through 3 aren't back in school? I wouldn't let my child go back to school unless everyone in that school was masked, hand washing stations were ever present, and social distancing either with screens or physical distancing was present

Can we get this in a chart?
