Schools and COVID

Yesterday BC had 887 COVID cases, the highest number of cases we've ever had!  We live in Fraser Health and it's the hardest hit community.  

I know children needed to go back to school in September.  The elementary school close to us was closed for two weeks.  The music teacher, Darlene Lourenco, tested positive and has been hospitalized.  There were a lot of cases in that school.  She teaches many music students in a portable.  Portable classrooms don't have sinks and the air circulation is poor!

Darlene Lourenco, was interviewed on TV and if you want to see her interview:

Cheryl received letters from Fraser Health saying there were exposures at Lexie's school, last Friday, Sunday, Tuesday and yesterday!   Lexie said all the students in grade 10 wear masks in class and in the halls.  She said they never take them off.  Only a few grade 8's don't wear them in class.  It's mandatory in the common areas, except when they are eating lunch when they must be two meters apart.

It's time to go back to online school.  There is a vaccine in the future so this isn't for a long time.  Let's keep the teachers and students safe!!!!!!
