The B-C Ministry of Education isn’t commenting on a court challenge of the province’s plan to re-open schools next month amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two fathers have filed an injunction application demanding the province bring in tougher safety measures to protect children and the broader community before schools reopen.
One of the fathers and his son suffer from asthma and the other was born with a genetic disorder causing muscle damage that can be triggered by fever and viral infection.
They allege the back-to-school plan wrongly presumes that learning groups of 60 to 120 students are safe so-called bubbles, in which physical distancing is not necessary.
