Toronto Public Health reported multiple COVID-19 cases in one East York school and two Scarborough schools on Sunday evening.

TPH identified the school settings as Fraser Mustard Early Learning Academy in Thorncliffe Park, St-Michel French Catholic Elementary School near Colonel Danforth Park and West Hill Collegiate Institute on Morningside Avenue.

They are working with the school’s communities to notify affected students and their families and have asked them to stay at home and monitor for any signs or symptoms.

“This isn’t unexpected given COVID-19 continues to circulate in our city and how transmissible the Delta variant is,” TPH tweeted. They are closely monitoring and investigating several other COVID-19 cases in their school communities.

“Screening measures and self-protection work will take place,” TPH tweeted. The number of cases identified has not been released.

Meanwhile, Peel Public Health reports a COVID-19 outbreak at a wedding at Mississauga’s Capitol Banquet Centre (6435 Dixie Rd.). All guests who attended the event on Sept. 5, including those who are vaccinated, are being urged to get tested for the coronavirus and self-isolate.
