London’s Lord Elgin Public School has been closed due to a COVID-19 outbreak and will remain shuttered until next Tuesday.
While it is possible rapid testing of students, which was approved by the province Tuesday, may ease the situation, it’s not the only concern facing the school community.
Many families in the area of Lord Elgin struggle with poverty.
Some rely on social services set up nearby the school to meet basic needs.
Jamie Donaldson has four children attending Lord Elgin. She says it has been a difficult few weeks.
“They eat more, you have to help them with their homework. And I have seven kids, so I have to help four of them.”
