TORONTO -- Toronto has issued a new section 22 order to ensure all education settings are closed to in-person learning in order to curb the spread of COVID-19. The order, which was released on Thursday evening, will go into effect on May 10. According to a news release, the order is meant to “enhance the provincial lockdown regulation,” which has shuttered all in-class learning in schools as defined in the Education Act. The order applies to all educational settings including independent schools, officials said, and “not just schools within the meaning of the Education Act.” There are similar exceptions as the provincial order in regards to child-care and in-person learning for students with special needs.
