Students in the TVDSB and the LDCSB will be able to resume in class learning starting on Monday.
OXFORD COUNTY - Students in the Thames Valley District School Board and the London District Catholic School Board will be able to resume in class learning on Monday.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced four additional Health Units who can return to in class learning this morning.
"On the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, with the support of the local Medical Officers of Health, and with the introduction of additional layers of protection, 280,000 students in four public health regions will return to class on Monday, February 1.
The government agrees with the growing consensus in the medical community that returning students to in-person learning is essential to the wellbeing, development and mental health of children. According to leading medical and scientific experts, including Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, our province's schools are safe places for learning.
In the fall, we introduced one of the most comprehensive back-to-school plans in the country with strict health and safety measures. As more students and staff return to in-person learning, we are building on our plan by introducing stronger masking protocols to include grades 1-3, expanding access to targeted asymptomatic testing, and implementing stricter screening protocols."
The four addition public health units include Eastern Ontario Health Unit, Middlesex-London Health Unit, Southwestern Public Health and Ottawa Public Health.
