Thousands of unvaccinated students in the Canadian province of Ontario will face different isolation rules compared to their vaccinated peers in September, according to medical source on Wednesday.

Ontario’s top doctor, Kieran Moore, said that unvaccinated students and staff would immediately have to isolate for a minimum of 10 days and require at least two negative COVID-19 tests, seven days apart, before returning to school.

“Terrific advantage of being two-dose immunized by being able to stay in school and attend sports and participate fully in all of the social activities of the school setting,” Moore added.

The warning comes as the province struggles to convince more then 300,000 students eligible Ontario students to get their initial vaccine, despite accelerating the timeline between doses to 28 days after the first shot.
