Just announced. March break is next week and all publicly funded schools will be closed an additional 2 weeks until April 5.
Not clear if this affects all schools, universities, etc. It came out of no where as the Covid-19 situation was under control.
Main rational:
"As we head into March Break, it is clear there will be an increased travel and exposure to the virus to families. I want every parent and family to know with confidence that when their child returns to school, they will be safe," Lecce said.
The government is worried the travel during the break will introduce more chances of a spread so they are extending the break for 2 weeks.
