With the recent cases of COVID-19 in Canada, we would like to address potential concerns about students' safety in the centre. According to Hamilton Public Health Service (PHS) "there are no cases of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in Hamilton and the risk of contracting novel coronavirus remains low".

At Mathnasium of Hamilton Mountain, your child's health and safety have always been our priority. Effective immediately we have been requesting all students to sanitize their hands (by washing their hands) before signing in on the attendance tablet, as well disinfecting the commonly touched surfaces, such as door handles, washroom, parent waiting area and game table in the centre every 2 hours.
Like SARS and most seasonal flu, the Novel Coronavirus does not infect through the skin. The virus enters our breathing system through our mouth, eyes and nose, often because our hands had touched a contaminated surface and brought that to our mouth, eyes and nose. Therefore, hand hygiene is the number 1 priority we have undertaken to prevent or break the transmission cycle in the centre.
If your child is feeling unwell, coughing or sneezing, we do kindly request that they stay home to recuperate.
Please do not hesitate to talk to us if you have concerns that your child will not be able to complete their sessions before month-end, due to illness.
