WINNIPEG Some Manitoba parents think the province needed to be more proactive when it comes to the spread of COVID-19 in schools, and waited too long to announce the shift to remote learning. “We saw the numbers rising, parents have been through this already once before,” said Luanne Karn with Parents for Public Education. “We could’ve had better contact tracing to deal with the outbreaks and exposures at our schools in April, and that could’ve prevented the size of this third wave that we’re seeing in our schools.” On Sunday, the Manitoba government announced that schools in Winnipeg and Brandon would be shifting to remote learning as of Wednesday. The period of remote learning will be in place until May 30.
