School’s out for COVID! School’s out for... whenever

With the April Break just days away, many schools in Ontario have shifted to remote learning in the face of rising case counts from the variants of concern which are spreading rapidly.

Kris Rushowy, Queen’s Park bureau reporter and education for The Star, joins us to discuss how we got here and what comes next.
