Nova Scotia is keeping its mask mandate in public schools in place until at least the May long weekend.
The province announced on April 13 that masking requirements in public schools will stay, which means staff, volunteers, and visitors must continue to wear a mask during school hours and on school buses.
Provincial Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development Becky Druhan said in a statement that the government has worked with public health throughout the pandemic to implement measures that help keep students in school.
