Is that maybe because teachers are likely to be directly exposed, whereas admin are not since they are mainly a back office role
Here is an example.  My wife works for a school in the admin area.  Teachers who get the virus are on full paid leave with no impact to sick leave.  However those in the admin area will have to use sick leave and then potentially leave to cover themselves it they get sick.  A massive double standard implemented by the MOE.  So now you have the risk of someone who is sick  doesn't have enough sick leave or paid leave coming to work sick because they can't afford to take unpaid leave.
Ask yourself this- you feel slightly unwell but are afraid to get tested because it may mean you are other earners in your household can't go to work for almost a month.  Would you consider "the right thing to do"  or the ability to pay rent or put food on the table?   
Pretty sure I know what most would think.
