A school district in the Canadian province of British Columbia will be locking down schools from Monday due to ongoing anti-vaccine protests.
The “hold and secure” protocol was enacted on Friday after people protesting against vaccines and masks, who the district said had been targeting schools all week, entered two school buildings in and around Salmon Arm, British Columbia.
The protocol meant that students could not leave or enter the building for the rest of the day. All schools in the district will be under the same “hold and secure” guidance from Monday. Canada has seen a wave of anti-vaccine protests ramp up in recent weeks as the country’s federal election draws nearer, Reuters reports.
