Provincial ministers of education and public-health officials have been wrestling with the reopening of schools because the impact of COVID-19 on children is unclear
. Children tend not to get very ill, but public health officials are still trying to understand how children affect transmission. No Canadian children are known to have died of COVID-19, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. Ontario recently updated its case definition of COVID-19 to include multisystem inflammatory vasculitis, a rare but serious inflammatory illness, as an atypical presentation in children.
British Columbia said late last week that it would reopen schools in June for optional, part-time classes. The province had reopened a number of schools for the children of essential workers.Quebec, too, reopened its elementary schools and daycares last week outside of the Montreal area.
After twice delaying the opening of Montreal area schools, Premier François Legault said last week that schools would remain closed until the fall, but daycares will open in Montreal on June 1. The city has been the hotspot for coronavirus infections in the country.
