Most parents say they're OK with their children wearing masks at school, a new survey suggests
Leger vice-president Christian Bourque said support for masks at school may increase as more jurisdictions adopt mandatory mask measures.
“The social norm that we should be wearing the mask will only go up the closer we get to the actual start of the school year.” Concerns were highest in Ontario, where schools have been closed for months, and lowest in Quebec, which had some of the earliest school and daycare reopenings in the country.Even those who say they’re not worried are likely to have concerns in other ways, such that an asymptomatic child might pass the novel coronavirus on to a grandparent, said Bourque.
