Schools across Canada announced Monday that they are closing schools due to the recent spike in Omicron cases.
In Quebec, schools will close beginning Tuesday, as well as bars, cinemas, gyms and spas, because of a record number of coronavirus cases in the Canadian province.
Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé also said restaurants must close by 10 p.m. nightly.
Beth Rivkah of Montreal has notified parents that all divisions of the school will be closed beginning Tuesday, December 21, “until further notice.”
The school said they will be providing information for zoom learning for the students.
Remote work, which before was recommended by authorities, will now be mandatory where possible in Quebec as well.
They force the Jewish schools to close when the goyishe schools were closing anyway for their holidays. The government is mamish anti-semiten
when did they ever get out of quarantine?
I seem to remember something about “two weeks to flatten the curve” and then things would be back to normal. And that was long before any vaccines. Why, you don’t suppose governments would have lied to us and just planned endless lockdowns and shutdowns, now, do you?
whatever keeps children and faculty safe must be done, no question.
This is total garbage Florida had their schools (and everything else) open for over a year now and have a very low death and hospital rate.
Open your eyes this is nonsense
Like I always tell ppl Cancer is real but stopping to use you cell phone is no going to help!
What ever happened to follow the data?
I thought the vaccine did that, Canada is over 80% fully vaccinated
This nonsense has to stop already.
Parents mental health of having their children home weeks on end, and the mental and psychological effect on these kids. in the middle of winter with nothing to do, except try to force my 3 and 6 year to stay on a zoom class- that doesn’t really fly
They made this announcement and a bunch of others at 1pm today giving 4 hour for all these new regulations to take affect at 5pm. Controlling the people with the snap of a finger.
But kodesh is also run by govt in canada?? Why can’t kodesh stay open?
no. but they can’t have their school open. they can’t even relocate to a shul or large house bec there’s a 10 person capacity now in homes.
Call it a restaurant..ull close by 10 p.m.
the authorities there in canada are childish. No common sense and yes greedy for power. It’s a shame. At the same time demanding vaccination when it ddnt even help
Too many people in our community think the virus is a joke, when thousands of Chabadniks have already died from it, many under 40 years of age.
Even for omicron and vaccinated?
?
Not thousands, more like maybe 1-2 hundred, all almost within the first few months of the pandemic. of course that does not minimize the tragedy R”L, but you are BH wrong about the “thousands” aspect. Not a single Chabad child died from COVID-19 B”H, let’s thank hashem by letting them learn Torah. And of those that died young R”L, a fraction where under 40, not “Many”. Either you are lying, or you are trolling, or you are extremely misinformed. I Don’t mind if you are so inaccurate, the issue is… It is people like you who hold everyone hostage to… Read more »
Im one who does not consider it a joke. I’m double vaxxed However early treatments work well here b.h and the teachers all had it already .the students arent more affected then the flu. Bh bh .
really hard on kids and mothers
Medical negligence. Lack of treatments that were/are available but not allowed under hospital protocol so the “vaccine” could be approved under emergency use authorization (EUA). Wake up.
It is not a joke, it’s a bad joke.
Why thousands?
Did they die because of
the virus or for wrong treatment?
It’s really upsetting and shocking
Why are they allowed in restaurants but not in schools?
restaurants are a money making business. don’t you see, it would be a financial loss. as airlines that pack their planes but social distance in the airpports…financial loss otherwise…
Please note that all the doctors have said that the vaccines will not prevent infection whatsoever against Omicron, the new variant. Boosters (the third shot)help a little bit, but also do not guarantee that you won’t get infected against this new variant Omicron. Also, natural immunity from prior infection does not work whatsoever against Omicron, nor do monoclonal antibodies (the infusion) help at all. Omicron is an entirely different variant. So it really doesn’t matter at all that people have been vaccinated, it doesn’t help this. So far they claim that Omicron seems to be mild i.e. like the flu,… Read more »
So basically the government failed miserably with all the vaccines and never even had a plan b and now you want everyone to trust them again? Lockdowns never worked and can definitely not be a long-term solution it’s like a doctor that’s too lazy to find you a cure and just put you on painkillers for years on end. I think we’re at the point that the lockdowns have killed and will kill more kids than covid. Once a kid is depressed and addicted to video games and drugs there is no going back.
Life must go on, these lockdowns are ridiculous and uncalled for. They don’t work. Hospitalizations and death count is pretty stable in Quebec . so people are getting flu like symptoms big deal, no need for government tyranny
The preschool is still open!
יד החסידים כל העליונה…
YESHIVA Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch Montreal will never close! I mean who else is holding up the whole world with Torah 🤔?
No life should ever be put at risk. If this means another lockdown then decent people everywhere will be ready to do it.
I’m sorry my friend but clearly the lockdowns don’t work. The risk is so small, those people that are at risk can stay home clean their hands and keep good hygiene
Maybe you are also ok with banning tichels, sheitels and kipas. Because your government knows best, of course
hi everyone! i see that everyone has their opinions on vaccines, lockdowns, and herd immunity, but I think the government is doing a wonderful job keeping us safe, they know what theyre doing, and theyre doing it all for the welfare of the people. G-d bless the Canadian government!
Montreal Jews are so abused by Bill 101 ans the rest of crazy discriminatory stuff. It’s like Stockholm syndrome…. They are used to being abused and mistreated they kinda like it, they don’t know any different.
This Government is doing everything in its power to drive people insane!
