As Nunavut prepares to emerge from its public health emergency, students and staff will still need to wear masks in schools and on school buses.

Education Minister Pamela Gross said Thursday masks will continue to be provided to schools.

Gross made the announcement during a COVID-19 news conference Thursday morning. Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Michael Patterson, Health Minister John Main and Human Resources Minister Margaret Nakashuk also attended.

The territory announced Wednesday that it would be bringing its health emergency to an end on April 11, along with remaining public health restrictions.

That means masks will no longer be required in public, though they will still be required in health facilities and government offices.
