Quebec is turning back on its decision announced two weeks ago to decrease the number of children under the care of a counsellor in the province’s day camps and is now allowing the usual ratios as soon as camps reopen on June 22.
Public health said in a statement issued on Wednesday evening that it had changed course “given the evolution of knowledge relating to the transmission of the virus and the situation of the pandemic.” The usual supervisory rations by the Association des camps du Québec are eight children between the ages of three and four per monitor and 10 children between the ages of five and six per monitor.
