OTTAWA—Almost two-thirds of parents in a new poll say they believe that children returning to school in the fall should wear masks at least part of the time.

The latest poll on the COVID-19 pandemic by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies found that 41 percent of respondents believe school children should be required to wear a mask while they’re on the bus or in the school.
