Avignon says physical distancing rules would be difficult to enforce at the elementary school with 900 students, noting there are rarely two metres between students. “I repeat that any opening of schools will be done with the agreement of public health,” he wrote. “We will not rush any decisions.” — François Legault April 10, 2020The Federation of Quebec Parents’ Committees positioned itself as a “voice of reason,” with federation president Kevin Roy saying he did not fear reopening schools as long as public health experts recommended it.
