Dr. Mark Joffe issued a statement late Friday night saying out of an abundance of caution, the facilities will be closed.
Active Start Country Hills, the Scenic Acres location of CanCare Childcare, CEFA Early Learning Childcare South, MTC Daycare, Renert Junior Kindergarten and Calgary JCC Child Care have all been temporarily shuttered.
Joffe also says Vik Academy, which was part of the original closures and had since reopened, is once again closed as a precaution pending testing results.
Every site will be required to be cleaned and sanitized before they can once again open their doors, and children will be tested to confirm their negative status before returning.
All facility operators have been contacted, and Joffe says parents of these facilities will be directly notified as soon as possible by the operators working with Alberta Health Services.
Joffe says some of the children who have tested positive at the added centres are connected to daycares from the original outbreak.
