The Ontario government has just launched a new page on its website reporting on COVID-19 cases in schools and licensed child-care centres.
Located at ontario.ca/page/covid-19-cases-schools-and-child-care-centres, the page will be updated every weekday with the most up-to-date COVID-19 information available.
The information includes a summary of cases in schools and licensed child care centres and agencies, whether a COVID-19 case is confirmed at a school (either in a child or a staff person), and where the numbers come from.
“The Premier and our government made a promise to parents, that we would ensure that they would have access to the same information that we have,” reads a statement issued by education minister Stephen Lecce and Peter Bethlenfalvy, treasury board president and minister responsible for the Ontario Digital Service.
“Over the last several weeks, we have been working with the Ministry of Health, the Ontario Digital Service and public health authorities, to ensure a rapid and transparent exchange of local COVID-19 data.”
kawarthaNOW.com plans to include any information about active school and child care cases in the greater Kawarthas region in our regular COVID-19 updates.
