restrictions lifted, experts are warning of a potential wave of infections this fall.
“The bottom line is that with schools reopening, with people gathering indoors, we expect that there will be another fall wave,” said Dr. Jesse Papenburg, a pediatric infectious disease specialist and medical microbiologist at the Montreal Children’s Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre.The dominant Omicron subvariant, BA.5, coupled with children gathering in enclosed settings for extended periods of time, will likely drive the transmission rate up, said Dr.
Students or staff may still be required to wear a mask in school if they are a close contact of a positive case or have recently travelled internationally,“Schools and school boards should be prepared that there may be a need to resume a requirement for mask wearing if a new variant of concern emerges,” TPH said.Masks will likely be optional for the start of the start of the school year in B.C.
GlobalEdmonton Not a chance.
GlobalEdmonton Vaccination rates in the 5-11 age group are extremely low. Children should not be allowed to come to school and put teachers lives at risk just because the parents don’t think the kids need a vaccination.
Is there any chance we can have these experts names and ask them our own questions? Because of the past few years have taught us anything, it’s how irrelevant the term ‘expert’ is and how wrong they usually are
$ure they are....
oh i'm sure those 'experts' are. Cant let go of their newfound power that easy!
