Episode description

Nova Scotia announced today it will be pushing out the move into Phase 5 of the COVID recovery until October 4th. This came as the numbers of new cases are spiking and more people are being hospitalized. An online petition had been started, urging government to keep masks mandatory for students because of the lack of vaccinations available for the under twelve cohort. I spoke with Paul Wareham and Aaron Smith, two parents of elementary age children. They are also engineers and wanted to speak to the issue of air quality. That's also an issue Paul Wozney has raised. The President of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union also weighs in on masking in schools and delaying Phase Five.
