Alberta's education and health ministers are rejecting concerns from physicians that the province's re-entry plan for schools doesn't do enough to protect students and teachers from COVID-19. Dr. Kim Kelly, who worked as a school health specialist prior to her current position in harm reduction, was similarly critical. "The UCP plan, in my opinion, is the government putting its head in the sand and not understanding the real risks," she said. When asked about the physicians' concerns, Health Minister Tyler Shandro said this kind of disagreement was not unusual. Still parents, teachers and students keep expressing concern via social media and calls and emails to MLAs.
