Ford to make announcement with Education Minister this afternoon
Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce are set to make an announcement in Mississauga on Thursday afternoon.
During the second COVID-19 wave schools have remained open. While the notion of a prolonged winter break was initially seeming like a possibility, Lecce announced last week that it would not be necessary as schools have “low levels of transmission.”
There have been 1,193 school-related cases in just two weeks, with 3,076 reported 14 or more days before that.

The press briefing will take place at 1 pm.
According to the province, there will also be new COVID-19 projections released later today after the announcement.
