Public health investigations into COVID-19 cases has now led to the shutdown of two more schools within the Toronto District School Board.
Toronto Public Health has advised the board to close Humber Summit Middle School, located in the area of Islington and Finch Avenues and Clairlea Public School in Scarborough.
The
TDSB COVID advisory page lists two infections among students and two infections among staff at Humber Summit. The page says three cases are resolved at the school.
TORONTO Secondary students with the York Catholic District School Board will be moved to remote learning only for the final three days of instruction before the holiday break. The board says that a “cohort flip” was scheduled to take place on Wednesday, meaning that students would begin attending in-person classes with a new cohort of classmates that they had previously been learning online with. The board, however, says that it has decided to begin the new cohort schedule remotely “so that students and staff will not be exposed to additional contacts prior to Christmas.” The change is not expected to impact instruction at YCDSB elementary schools.
