A Scarborough school will be closed from in-person learning and activities starting Monday after 13 COVID-19 cases were identified.
The Toronto Catholic District School Board announced Sunday evening the temporary dismissal of all students at Precious Blood Catholic School from attending classes in person following the recommendation from Toronto Public Health (TPH).
An ongoing COVID-19 investigation in the school located in the Pharmacy Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East area has found 13 coronavirus cases linked to the building, TPH said.
“We received additional lab results this afternoon & are recommending a whole school dismissal as a precautionary measure to protect staff, students and the community from further COVID-19 transmission within the school,” Toronto’s health unit tweeted.
“We will work closely with our school partners to determine when in-person learning will resume.”
