What if your child’s classmate gets COVID? Will students have access to rapid tests? Send us your questions before Ontario schools reopen

Parents in Ontario are exhausted.

With schools closed once again, working families around the world have had to deal with the emotional roller coaster of COVID-19 in schools. It has been an education that nobody asked for.

The province has confirmed that the 2 million students in the province will return to classrooms next Monday. Ontario is distributing masks for teachers and students and is working to improve filtration in classrooms, the education minister said Tuesday.

The new provincial guidance says that only students and teachers showing symptoms of COVID-19 while in school will have access to PCR testing once schools reopen for in-person learning.

The seven page document from the Ministry of Health offers guidance on case, contact, and outbreak management for schools and daycare centers, and includes new tips on PCR and rapid antigen testing (RAT).
