Global News published this video item, entitled “Ontario announces return to in-person classes, provides latest update on COVID-19 variants | FULL” – below is their description.

Ontario’s back-to-school plan says students can ditch their masks outdoors even if they can’t keep a six-foot distance, play on sports teams, use instruments in music class and go on field trips this fall.

Dr. Kieran Moore, the province’s chief medical officer of health, provided more details on the province’s plan as well as the latest COVID-19 numbers in the province during a press conference Tuesday.

The plan that was released Tuesday includes guidance on resuming extracurricular activities, loosened restrictions for shared spaces like libraries and cafeterias, and indoor mask requirements for students in Grades 1 and up.

Students are expected to attend school in person for full days, five days a week, unless they opted to learn remotely.

The plan emphasizes outdoor activities by allowing children to share toys and play with their friends from other classes at recess.
