Here is some clarity (sort of) from Dr. Henry on kids and isolating.
If you test positive for COVID you must stay home for 5 days (at minimum).
If you never test positive, but have symptoms, you can go back to school as soon as symptoms end. (Could be less than 5 days). #bcpoli
NEW - Delta School District starting Jan 17 will require staff who are unvaccinated or who fail to disclose their vaccination status to undergo regular rapid testing in order to continue work, or take an upaid Extraordinary Leave Of Absence. #bced
@richardzussman But will they be testing children? Will schools require a test to return or does anyone with symptoms assume they are positive and stay home the full 5/10 days?
NEW - Dr. Bonnie Henry, Health Minister Adrian Dix and Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside will provide a COVID-19 update at 11:30 am Friday.
This should be about testing and notifications at schools. #bced#bcpoli
No one wanted schools to close. But ask yourself, what did you do over the break? Did your choices help to keep them open or to help them to close? #onted#onpoli
