Toronto Public Health (TPH) has identified COVID-19 cases at three schools in the city’s east end.

TPH is working with the schools to notify those who were exposed to the virus, to ensure they stay home and monitor for symptoms.

They added that they are investigating “a number” of other COVID-19 cases in Toronto’s schools.

“This isn’t unexpected given COVID-19 continues to circulate in our city and how transmissible the Delta variant is,” the health unit said.

Ontario students returned to the classroom on September 9 for the first time since April.
