Toronto Public Health says it is investigating 23 schools due to COVID-19
CBC
Toronto Public Health says it is conducting "public health investigations" at 23 Toronto schools due to COVID-19.
In a news release on Monday, TPH said it will reach out to close contacts linked to the investigations. The schools include elementary, middle and secondary, public and Catholic, English and French schools. TPH said it is monitoring all COVID-19 activity in school settings now that students have returned to class in person. "COVID-19 and the more infectious delta variant continue to circulate in Toronto," TPH said in the release. "It is not unexpected to have cases related to the school setting, even during the first week of school, as cases in school settings often reflect what is happening in the broader community." TPH said it is conducting case and contact management at schools in connection with COVID-19 cases to help keep students, staff and the larger community safe. "TPH completes an investigation for all laboratory confirmed cases related to schools," the agency added.
