School reopening safety measures have been a key concern for parents. Many educational institutions in Canada have done extensive research to figure out the best possible way to minimize risk from COVID-19 during the school year. Havergal College—an all-girls private school in Toronto—sent out a cohesive handbook to parents and students, outlining how the Fall 2020 semester will move forward.
Aside from the availability of cleaning supplies in every classroom and a full surface cleaning every night, the institution has installed a new bipolar ionization technology to proactively purify indoor air. This tech has been extensively used in food manufacturing. It works to "disinfect the air and all surfaces by naturalizing particulate matter, bacteria, and viruses, odorous gases and aerosols."
