FALL RIVER:<\/strong> The final details are being ironed out by the Department of Education on what graduations will look like later this month, said Nova Scotia\u2019s top doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Robert Strang was asked what graduations would exactly look like, with most likely falling after phase two of the province\u2019s five-phase plan takes place (as long as the epidemiology and active case continue to trend down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI know they\u2019re working on specific graduation plans celebrating the academic achievements of students,\u201d he said at the June 4 COVIDE-19 briefing, responding to the question asked by The Laker News. \u201cThose will be done within the allowable public health guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s going to be in all likelihood under Phase two so it will be whatever gatherings is allowed under Phase two.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”6″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said Public Health is working with the Education department on those plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Strang then spoke about any community celebrations of the graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor any community groups celebrating grads, I come back to my previous answer,\u2019 he said. \u201cWhatever is done will have to be done under what\u2019s allowable at whatever phase we\u2019re at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s likely going to be in phase two where we\u2019ll have very limited ability, very small numbers, for indoor and outdoor celebrations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”31″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the video from the June 4 COVID-19 briefing where we asked about graduations.
