Quebec won't mandate COVID-19 vaccination for workers in schools
CTV
Quebec's Health Department says mandatory vaccination won't be imposed on school workers due to an improvement in the pandemic situation across the province and high rates of vaccination among staff.
In a news release, the department says 90 per cent of staff working in preschool, elementary and high schools are adequately vaccinated.
The province is reporting 478 new COVID-19 cases today, along with four more deaths related to the virus.
Health officials say hospitalizations fell by two to 257, while the number of patients in intensive care remains steady at 66.
The province says it vaccinated 10,021 people on Tuesday.
With the Edmonton Oilers down two goals late in the first period of Game 4, Rogers Place was quiet, fans seemingly bewildered at the early, quick scoring of the Dallas Stars and the slow start by the home team. Ryan McLeod's marker with six-and-a-half minutes in the opening frame left changed all that.
