At least 246 Quebec schools have reported at least one case of COVID-19 since classes resumed in late August, Union President Sylvain Mallette said in an interview Monday. Last week, health authorities suspended daily updates on the number of schools with cases of COVID-19, saying they were “adjusting” the system.Mallette said his union, which represents about 49,000 teachers, has been trying since Aug.
“It’s not normal that we don’t know where the outbreaks are, how they are being reported, and what the delay is between the moment someone says they have symptoms and the moment they get their results,” Mallette said.Last week a judge denied a request by a group of parents to force the province to provide an online learning option for families worried about sending children to school amid the pandemic.
