The Ontario government will provide free emergency childcare to eligible health care and essential workers.
Effective Monday, emergency care for school-aged kids will be provided during the remote learning period.
"Our government is once again stepping up to provide health care and other frontline workers with access to emergency child care as they continue to work around the clock in our fight against COVID-19," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. "Doing so will allow these frontline workers to perform their duties knowing that their children are safe and in good hands.
The service is intended for workers performing duties in the fight against the pandemic who cannot work from home.
