🎉 🥳 We are gladly retiring our vaccine appointment finder tool today!

Looking back, it still amazes me what volunteers are capable of.

Given absence rate is stabilizing, we will start tweeting on Tuesdays only. For email subscribers, threshold checking for your school is still daily.

@SusanLeeLaw Hi, this rate includes non-Covid absences.

Without pre-Covid data, we can't really make any deduction yet. Maybe post-Covid, we will get a sense.

[RAT Tracking Canada @reportmytest]

Absence rate is staying low at 11.7% (as of Wed).

Almost at the same level when the mask mandate was lifted.

@markegilmore It's tough. Waste water analysis is our best indicator now. We track Ontario school absence rate as a secondary measure. Hope this helps.
