FALL RIVER:<\/strong> Dr. Robert Strang wishes he had a \u201ccrystal ball\u201d so he could tell graduates in N.S. the type of ceremonies they can expect in a few months as they take the next step in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, as the Chief Medical officer of health said, he doesn\u2019t and can\u2019t say exactly what they can expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the COVID19 briefing on Feb.3, Dr. Strang was asked by The Laker News to look ahead to May and June when proms and graduations are held for high school graduates across the province. In 2020, many went without traditional ceremonies and proms were limited and some not held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”31″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Strang said he is hopeful for ceremonies for high school students but doesn\u2019t like to look more then two or three months ahead. As one has seen in other provinces, looking too far ahead and things\u2014specifically case numbers\u2014can rapidly change throwing a wrench into plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI hope we can have more in person prom and graduations then we did last year, but it\u2019s premature to speculate where we might be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”113″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said he fully appreciates people need time to plan, but that\u2019s not possible with COVID19 still around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBeing in a pandemic doesn\u2019t necessarily give us that luxury,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ll move forward, and have to watch our epidemiology for this, as well as a lot of other long-range things as we come from the Spring into the Summer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”6″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”95″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”105″] [adrotate banner=”93″] FALL RIVER: Dr. Robert Strang wishes he had a \u201ccrystal ball\u201d so he could tell graduates in N.S. the type of ceremonies they can expect in a few months as they take the next step in their lives.
