Members of the advisory table couldn't reach a consensus
The province's science advisory table says it will not be making a formal recommendation on whether to reintroduce mandatory masking in schools.
In a report yesterday, members of the science table said they could not reach a consensus regarding if and when masking should be mandated again.
The province released weekly COVID-19 data yesterday, showing most indicators were unchanged from a week ago, though Public Health Ontario has said rates appear to be increasing among school-aged children.
Members of the science table have said that mask-wearing is likely the easiest temporary measure to implement if required to support ongoing school operations.
