London, Ont. area Catholic board ends outdoor mask requirement for students
London District Catholic School Board has lifted its outdoor masking requirements for students to give them a break during recess.The board said the policy change went into effect after the Family Day holiday.
Indoor masking requirements remain in place.“We’ve done our best to continually communicate that we want to always air on the side of caution, but with the intention of returning to normal operations when it was safe to do so,” director of education Vince Romeo told Global News.“Staff and students are happy to see that break outdoors, particularly for our youngest learners.
We will continue to cautiously lift any other restrictions, as regulations and rate of infection permit.” Ontario should ‘strongly’ look at easing masking requirements in schools, Brampton mayor says Dr.
Alex Summers, acting medical officer of health for the Middlesex-London Health Unit, said masking outdoors is not as critical as masking indoors.“I strongly encourage all organizations to continue with masking indoors, certainly through March and into April.
