Masks No Longer Required In Schools As Of Tuesday

The province says masks will no longer be required in schools starting on Tuesday.

Education Minister Becky Druhan says masks will continue to be recommended.

But she also says now is the time to make masks optional in schools with health data and school attendance data improving.

Druhan says classes can spend more time outdoors as warmer weather approaches in June.

She says all provinces in Canada have removed mask mandates in schools.
