Child care operators in London, Ontario say the recent increase in COVID-19 cases is adding new pressures daily that make it increasingly difficult for them to function without more help. CBC London spoke to three local child care providers this week to learn about the challenges they face as the number of COVID-19 cases rises. “This week I have six kids who didn’t come to daycare,” Kelsey said. The province is now limiting testing to high-risk environments, though there are growing calls for the Ontario government to make COVID-19 testing available to children in day care. A statement released yesterday by Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner said Ontario’s child care centers have been “on their own.”Godfrey says that is no exaggeration.
