Update:
Parents, students, and education staff now have an interactive screening tool to assess COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors before the school day.
The tool, launched by the Ontario government today, is voluntary.
The Ontario government says the asssessment tool will help students and staff determine if they should attend school each day based on their symptoms and possible risk. A press release from the government also emphasized that the tool protects privacy and does not collect any personl information.
The launch of this tool comes on the heels of Friday's launch of a new web page making COVID-19 child care centre and school-specific data publicly available online.
