Toronto Public Health isnt saying how many cases have been confirmed at Silverthorn Collegiate Institute

An outbreak of COVID-19 at a school in Canada's largest city has prompted Toronto Public Health to order the first whole-school dismissal of the academic year.

The agency isn't saying how many cases have been confirmed at Silverthorn Collegiate Institute -- only that new infections were reported on the weekend and there may have been exposure at ''multigrade events.''

So, all students at the west-end school are moving to fully remote learning effective immediately.
