Premier Doug Ford was joined by Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, and Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, on Tuesday where it was announced that Ontario schools will not be reopening for the rest of the school year. However, online learning will continue.

"I'm just not going to risk it," Ford said of not reopening schools.

Premier Ford also announced that overnight camps will be closed this summer, but day camps will be allowed to reopen with strict public health measures in place in July and August.

The update comes as the province starts the first stage of its economic reopening today, giving the green light to retailers, some sports centres, vehicle dealerships and other businesses to resume.
