Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa said during a Board of Health meeting on Monday afternoon that the case rate among children ages four to 11 has steadily increased since schools reopened earlier this month and now stands at 64 per 100,000, up from 57 per 100,000 last week
“It is important to note that at this point what we are seeing is the majority of cases in children to date are sporadic. We're seeing at this point that few are linked to outbreak. And in fact, what we do see is that the most common source of infection at this time amongst children is household transmission,” she said. “With that in mind it is absolutely key for parents to get vaccinated to help ensure the safe reopening of schools and the ability to provide ongoing in-person learning.”.
She said that about 25 per cent of that age group is not fully vaccinated, suggesting there is “still some work that needs to be done.” De Villa’s comments on Monday afternoon come amid new data suggesting that more than a quarter of all known COVID-19 cases in the province are now associated with schools.it was aware of another 135 COVID-19 cases; with 120 among public school children and 13 cases in education workers.
