Toronto Public Health announced on Tuesday that all schools in the city will be temporarily shutting down the following day – April 7.
Toronto’s medical officer of health is invoking powers under Ontario law to order all local schools closed for in-person instruction due to rising COVID-19 cases.
Dr. Eileen de Villa, who oversees the public health department in Toronto, issued a Section 22 order under the Health Protection and Promotion Act to order schools closed as of Wednesday until at least April 18. However, April break was pre-scheduled for the week of April 12 and schools were not scheduled to be in session.
