Guests: Jennifer Yang and Megan Ogilvie, Toronto Star health reporters
Back to school is almost here, kicking off the return of morning COVID screening for parents with their kids. With more data now available, the province has recently made some changes for that screening. In particular, runny noses have been removed from the screening guide — a relief for many as the first signs of sniffles previously caused parents to scramble and filled up testing centres. This year will see more take home tests, HEPA filters in classrooms and ventilation upgrades. Will these changes stop the rising case counts being brought on by the more transmissible Delta variant or are schools headed for another shutdown?
