A survey of school boards conducted May 25 found that 19 students and 22 staff members were found to be infected in the first two weeks following the reopening
The highest numbers of cases were in school boards in the Laurentians and Monteregie regions north and southeast of Montreal, with 10 cases each.The survey is lacking numbers from 12 of the province’s 72 school boards, which did not provide data to the province.
Dr. Horacio Arruda said it’s normal to have some cases as society returns to normal, but the situation is under control. “The advantage in those areas, is that they’re young children, and we didn’t put any personnel who was high-risk ,” he said. Another child at a daycare in the Quebec City region was also sent home from daycare after a parent tested positive, Arruda said.
