CLOTH MASKS MANDATORY IN CLASS, ON BUS — NO MEDICAL MASKS

MUSKOKA — If you haven’t got cloth mask for your school kid now — better get sewing fast.
Or save up — because buying a good one isn’t cheap if you can’t pick up a free one from local volunteers.
With Ontario students returning to the classroom next week, new guidelines from the local school board make masks mandatory for all grades — kindergarten to grade 12.
And parents and caregivers must provide your own masks, which some parents predict means at least four a day to account for re-use and losses.
That’s the word trickling out from the Trillium Lakelands District School Board in a chart making the rounds on school social media sites.
They say on the bus and in class kids will have to cover up with cloth.
No medical-grade masks will be allowed, according to their chart.
The same appears to apply to teachers and staff.
