Ontario's Education Minister Stephen Lecce has announced which area schools will be allowed to return to in-person learning next week.
Niagara is not on the list, meaning students will continue with at-home learning.

- Grey Bruce Health Unit
- Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit
- Kingston, Frontenac, and Lennox & Addington Health Unit
- Leeds, Grenville, and Lanark District Health Unit
- Peterborough Public Health Unit
- Renfrew County District Health Unit
Niagara reported 89 new cases today along with 16 new COVID-related deaths.
