Physical education classes, staff room and offices highlighted in letter to parents re:  Earl Marriott School



Surrey School District is adjusting COVID-19 protocols after "close to 50" cases of COVID-19 were linked to five classes at Earl Marriott Secondary.



In a letter sent to parents, which was shared with Peace Arch News, district superintendent Jordan Tinney wrote that school officials met with Fraser Health to discuss how school officials could "review and adjust" its plans for re-opening Earl Marriott this month.



The letter reported nearly 50 cases of COVID-19 at the school affecting five classes. The classes, Tinney wrote, shared common areas and structures.





"It is almost that the numbers aren't bad enough,... "We have no idea where families were over the holidays."

Half of Canadians were doing what some politicians got caught doing..



It also shows little confidence in the effectiveness of lockdowns, except for travel bans.



Poll shows nearly half of Canadians visited loved ones during the holidays



A survey conducted found that nearly half of Canadians polled visited loved ones over the recent holidays.



The survey, conducted by the firm Léger in collaboration with the Association for Canadian Studies, indicates that 48 per cent of respondents visited people who do not reside with them, while 50 per cent refrained from doing so.



The survey indicates that 62 per cent of respondents have little or no confidence that the spread of COVID-19 in communities can be contained over the coming weeks.



On the other hand, 87 per cent of survey participants would support a total foreign travel ban if enacted, at least before a significant drop in the number of COVID-19 cases in Canada occurs.
