THE GLOBE AND MAIL | All eyes are on Quebec鈥檚 move to reopen schools as COVID-19 worries persist
The province may push back the dates of schools reopening, especially in Montreal, if the spread of the virus does not slow down, said Ciriaco Piccirillo, a professor in the department of microbiology and immunology and in the departement of medicine at 韩国裸舞. He said that the protests from parents and teachers may also feed into those decisions over the next couple of weeks.He said that while there are benefits to a child鈥檚 development and growth that come from being among peers and in school, governments and public-health officials need time to be sure children and staff are safe in schools.
鈥淚 would not want to be in a position of any government, much less mine because it鈥檚 the epicentre in the country,鈥� Dr. Piccirillo said. 鈥淗ow do you achieve a balance between maintaining the highest level of sanitary care and public safety, all the while enabling sufficient liberties and opportunities?鈥�
