Testing positive weeks after a COVID-19 diagnosis: What it means for travel The reports will not identify any staff or students.If a caregiver does not receive a report on a particular day, that means there were no new cases reported at their child’s school.A spokesperson for the board told Global News that this is a local initiative that is not being implemented at the behest of the province.The board is also warning parents that there is the possibility that classrooms or entire schools may be forced to close going forward.“We are facing increased staffing challenges due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, and continue to implement a number of strategies to ensure schools stay open for learning,” the letter from the board read.“We have been very fortunate that to date, no WRDSB schools have been closed due to staff shortages.”The board says parents will receive 24-hours notice through School-Day if there is a closure.

COVID-19 booster shot may be effective against omicron BA.2 variant, study shows

BETHESDA, Maryland - New evidence shows a booster dose of the coronavirus vaccine may provide protection against a subvariant of omicron – the variant which has rapidly become the dominant strain in the world and currently accounts for most cases of the virus in the U.S.Researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center examined neutralizing antibodies produced after vaccination or infection. These are antibodies that can bind to the virus and block its entry into cells.The study, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health’s National Cancer Institute and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that after a booster vaccination, levels of antibodies in the blood that could bind to and neutralize a new omicron variant increased substantially. The team tested antibodies from the blood of 24 people who had been vaccinated and boosted with the Pfizer shot.
