The Opposition Education critic says he’s hearing a lot of frustration from parents of pre-school age children who are confused about policies surrounding COVID exposures.

Children in daycare are required to stay home and self-isolate if they have been exposed to a positive case through a non-household contact.

The Chief Medical Officer of Health has acknowledged that the situation in child care settings is different from that in schools because of the lack of physical distancing and masking.

Barry Petten says inconsistency in the policy is causing confusion for parents who are calling him to express their frustrations.
