We have vaccine passports because to get into most venues, like restaurants and bars you have to show proof of double vaccination. No jab, no entry! Some other provinces lifted their restrictions too quickly and are now dealing with outbreaks and hospitals are filled to the brim and some patients are transferred to hospitals out of province. I wonder if we'll ever see the end of this pandemic?

Here in Ontario we still have to wear masks, students are back in class but with masks. We need proof of vaccine to enter restaurants and bars also. Colleges are back in class for most programs, have to show proof of vaccine or negative covid test to enter. There are still a lot of things being done online or by phone. For example, I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and it will be via telephone. I'm fine with that as the doctor is two and half hours away and it's just to go over a report.
In high schools, our students are only doing 2 classes a day instead of 4 and we just alternate weeks. Students have scheduled washroom breaks and if they need a washroom break or to come to student services they need to scan a QR code and wait for an escort. We have staggered exits and two different lunches- gr 9 & 10 is one lunch and 11 & 12 are at another time.
They are starting to allow more people in establishments and the goal is to be mask-free by March. Our numbers are down, thankfully.
