Back-to-school questions on COVID-19 with Dr. Abdu Sharkawy
As Canada continues to battle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, parents and their children are preparing to face a very different school year with a return to classes weeks away.
While safety precautions in the classroom will vary depending on where you live, some parents still worry about the risk of sending their children back to the classroom with some choosing not to return to in-person classes at all.
Personally, I understand the need to get the economy going but I have concerns about sending the young ones back to school. Reports about children not catching it and not being as contagious as adults, has pretty well been debunked. Although their symptoms may not be as severe as an adult, they could be passing the virus onto their parents, grandparents and other friends and family who may be more susceptible.
How do you feel about it?
