There already are recommendations from the federal health office around wearing PPE, and that's for students 10 years and older. We would like to see that be more consistent.
We would certainly like to see, at a minimum, encouragement federally for greater consistency across Canada in terms of some of the preventative measures that are in place. Similarly, physical distancing is one of the most problematic measures. We're just not able to physically distance in classrooms of 30 or more students as well as all the adults in the room—teachers, support staff, etc. These are crowded rooms.
We have concerns that as the community spread of the virus is increasing—and that certainly is happening in B.C., especially in certain communities—those in-school transmissions are going to be inevitable. We're going to see the closure of schools instead of keeping them open.
