Ontario is reporting another 126 school-related cases of COVID-19 but the number of active infections associated with the public school system has declined again and is now the lowest it has been in nearly two weeks.

The Ministry of Education says that there were another 114 student cases and 12 staff cases confirmed during a 24-hour period ending Thursday afternoon.There are now 1,362 active cases associated with Ontario public schools, which is the lowest that number has been since Sept. 27.

Meanwhile, the total number of infections since the beginning of the school year now stands at 2,975.Officials, however, have continued to insist that schools are safe and have said that transmission within classrooms has been “minimal.” There are currently 774 Ontario schools with at least one active case of COVID-19 and nine buildings have been shuttered due to an outbreak.However, the rapid rise in cases that accompanied the return to school appears to have slowed for now and Lecce said that the precautions being taken to date, including high-efficiency particulate air filters in every classroom, seem to be working.
