Important paper. Schools are high-risk environments for respiratory disease transmission MAINLY because classrooms are underventilated. This problem has a workable solution - it just needs political will. Air quality is as important as water quality for public health. MT @martinmckee.bsky.social
Our paper modelling transmission risk in schools is published in Nature Communications. **The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools** doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Saskatchewan does not observe Daylight Saving Time, nor do some eastern regions of British Columbia. In Ontario, some communities like Pickle Lake don't observe DST. Parts of Quebec, Nunavut and all of the Yukon also do not observe it.
