All Ontario students move to virtual learning amid record-high COVID-19 cases | FULL

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday that schools would move indefinitely to virtual learning upon returning from break, as the province continues to see record-breaking COVID-19 cases and ICU numbers.

Ford said bringing kids back to schools for in-person learning “is a risk that I won’t take.”

Students in the hot spot regions of Peel, Toronto and Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph, were already moved to virtual learning the week before the break.

Schools will reopen pending the monitoring of public health data.

On Monday, the province reported 4,401 new COVID-19 cases, the second highest single-day increase to date. There are currently 1,646 people hospitalized, with 619 patients in intensive care units – an all-time high, and 408 patients in the ICU on a ventilator.
