Effective end of day, March 16, closure of K-12 schools and regulated child care announced (regulated family child care homes exempt, no mention of universities): "The Honourable Brian Warr, Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, confirmed today that, based on the recommendation and advice of the province's Chief Medical Officer of Health, regulated family child care homes are exempt from the closure of child care services due to COVID-19. Earlier today, the Provincial Government announced that regulated child care centres will close effective end of day today (Monday, March 16). The Chief Medical Officer of Health has advised that regulated family child care is exempt due to the small number of children in attendance at each service. Family child care homes are encouraged to follow the public health guidelines. Government also announced today that classes for K-12 students are suspended, effective end of day today. Schools will open on Tuesday, March 17 for teachers for planning purposes. On Wednesday and Thursday, March 18 and 19, students can return to school to gather personal belongings and materials needed to continue their learning at home. Further information will be sent home to families from their child's school." https://web.archive.org/web/20201108171126/https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2020/eecd/0316n04/
