Ottawa Public Health is warning families and staff at École élémentaire catholique Marius-Barbeau in Herongate that the school could be closed for 10 days or longer.
Ottawa Public Health says École élémentaire catholique Marius-Barbeau is closed after evidence of the virus spreading to several different cohorts in the school.
The school closure is the second one this week, after St. Benedict Elementary was shut down by OPH on Tuesday.
OPH did not provide details on how many cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed at Marius-Barbeau. In a letter to the school community, OPH says the duration of closure isn't known, but if cohorts can return earlier than 10 days, staff and families will be notified.
An outbreak at the school was first listed on OPH's dashboard on September 14th.
