Russell released few details, but said the case is travel-related and the infected person is self-isolating.“This is an expected situation,” Russell told reporters. “We expect there will continue to be travel-related cases.”
Meanwhile, Russell said students will be allowed to participate in sports, extracurricular activities and physical education when classes resume next month. George Daley, deputy minister of the anglophone education system, said the use of outdoor spaces for physical education will be encouraged where and for as long as possible.
Students in kindergarten through Grade 8 will participate in physical education within their class grouping and sporting equipment may be shared within that bubble. Equipment is to be disinfected after each use.Intramural activities and extracurricular clubs will be permitted, although Daley said it’s recommended they be done virtually.
