Anxiety high as Canadian schools prepare for students from COVID-ravaged U.S. - News Summed Up

Anxiety high as Canadian schools prepare for students from COVID-ravaged U.S.


At Montreal's McGill University, some employees are growing worried as the school prepares to welcome foreign students into on-campus residences — even those whose courses are entirely online. "Honestly, as a father and Canadian, I would much rather have these students here for their safety and well-being than being in present-day America." "We will continue to place the health and safety of our community first by working closely with public health authorities." "It is completely bittersweet," said the father of a second-year McGill student from a hard-hit southern state, who is also worried his child might be targeted. Those quarantines will include daily check-ins with staff, meals delivered to their rooms and "co-curricular" programming while students ride out the waiting period.
