Third TDSB school closes

Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute will be closed to students and staff as of Wednesday, as advised by Toronto Public Health, Toronto District School Board said in a tweet on Tuesday.

This is the third TDSB school to declare a COVID-19 outbreak and shut down.

According to the TDSB COVID-19 advisory, 14 new student cases were confirmed at Marc Garneau C.I., as of Tuesday at 8:30 p.m.

No staff cases have been reported. The Star previously reported that Fraser Mustard Early Learning Academy in Thorncliffe Park will remain closed to students and staff until Dec. 14.

This decision comes after another nearby school, Thorncliffe Park Public School, closed due to increasing COVID-19 cases among students and staff.

TDSB announced that the school is closed until Dec. 18 “to allow TPH time to finish investigation and conduct additional COVID-19 testing.”
