Ford made the announcement alongside Education Minister Stephen Lecce at Queen's Park on Wednesday following a meeting with cabinet.
Ford said he’s waiting for advice from Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams about whether the province can push forward the Step 1 date. A source told CTV News Toronto earlier on Wednesday the Ford government is still waiting to see whether the Victoria Day long weekend will lead to an "uptick in cases" this weekend, or whether province will continue to see a decline in transmission that follows the recent trend.Ford said his decision to keep schools closed is partly driven by COVID-19 variants, which have already entered the province.
"It should be for all students because we know we must do as much as possible to get people outdoors to enjoy the summer, enjoy the nice weather," he said. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath blamed on Wednesday Ford for not wanting to spend the money to make schools safe.
