Seven schools in Quebec City have had cases of COVID-19 in recent days, leaving some two hundred remote academics in their homes, TVA reports.
This is an estimate and it is not known how many cases have been discovered in other parts of the province.

To fill this gap, a Sisters Island parent created one to track the number of instances in the system.
Olivier Drouin told Brendan Kelly of the Gazette that it is “totally unacceptable” for the government not to publish this information and rejected the concept that it instilled concern in people.

“People can take the knowledge and have the emotional reactions they need.I’m a very rational guy. It’s a knowledge-based exercise.It’s just about publishing data that other people need to have.”

Those who paint in the duct industry say such cleanings were delayed greatly.
Government building managers in particular, they say, have tended to delay the maintenance of the ventilation system, resulting in the accumulation of destructive waste and reduced air circulation, which can increase the threat of virus spread inside.
