Volunteer parents could be asked to supervise Quebec classrooms if too many teachers fall sick with COVID-19, the province's Education Ministry says. Still, nearly 60,000 Montreal students age five to 11 have not yet received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, Montreal Public Health confirmed. Some educators say they are worried about a lack of health measures ahead of returning to classrooms. Boileau said Quebec public health does not believe schools are a source of community outbreaks. She said, as long as public health measures in schools are in place, parents shouldn't be concerned.
