Maclean's hosted a Twitter Space on January 7 to discuss school closures due to COVID-19—the impact of those closures on kids, the low risk of the virus to children and how to properly balance all the considerations.
We invited Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng, head of the department of critical care at the Ottawa Hospital, Matt Gurney, a journalist and parent, Denise Balkissoon, Ontario bureau chief for The Narwhal and also a parent. Shannon Proudfoot, Ottawa bureau chief for Maclean's, a parent, played host, and we were fortunate to have several teachers as well as a mental health expert weigh in with their perspective.
