VANCOUVER -- Dr. Bonnie Henry says she has no plans to shutdown B.C. schools despite a persistent surge of new cases of COVID-19. Thousands of school exposures have been reported since the start of the school year. “We've talked about that we've been in touch with our counterparts in the Ministry of Education, with the superintendents with the school districts, and principals and teachers,” said Henry on Tuesday. The hardest hit district has been Surrey, where transmission within the community has been the highest. "My concern is that they just want to keep it going exactly the way it is, regardless of the number of cases,” said Matt Westphal, president of the Surrey Teachers’ Association.
