Two days later, another case was reported.Five days after the first case, four more staff or students tested positive.45 in the past three days“We continue to follow advice and direction from and at this time, classes are not being dismissed,” TCDSB spokesperson Shazia Vlahos told CP24. “A courtesy letter is sent to the classroom where there is a positive case and individuals are asked to monitor for symptoms.

The cases disclosed by the board at St. Brendan, which has about 540 students, may not reflect all of the transmission at that school, because case disclosure is voluntary, and also dependent on having a rapid test available.

At some point the boards will be liable Will they wait until it's too late

I wonder why? What with all the layers of protection.

Can you find the ability to stop spreading lies and fear? Get a education, please..

This is influenza season folks wake up

Wow wow

Sflecce its all on you big guy

Masking should never have been removed. The kids were used to it.

Is it severe illnesses? Do we rely on FAKE tests that are proven unreliable ? 🤔

STOP acting like a school is free daycare. If you are sick stay home. These parents need to be held accountable for their actions.

Deplorable! My board asked me why I haven’t supplied since the beginning of the pandemic as they are desperate for supplies - duh really? No thank you!!!!

The sky is falling 🤣🤣

Did anyone die? No Did anyone need hospitalization? No Do we need to panic? No

Lol, it seems like the restrictions those were placed in last 2 years useless. What’s wrong? - Lockdown & mandatory Mask or No restrictions - any opinion?

GOOD no reason to close schools kids won't die from COVID they will die from the vaxx

Great. Its common cold for 99%. Stay open.

You can keep schools closed. Covid isn’t going anywhere

Ford govt a ridiculous decision to remove mask

How many hospitalized from those 103? How many dead or in critical condition?

'Self reported'...why are we reporting on people self reporting? How many of these 'self reported' individuals are taking up hospital space? Missed that part in the article... of course the school will stay open. Anything else is prolonging the illogical fear mongering stupidity

Ken34205423 OK I've said it so OFTEN its too Early to Let kids Get together in schools and Playgrounds They Don't think about what they cannot see Covid Is invisible. AT LEAST KEEP the MASK MANDATE. And Enforce the Mandate

Stupid how this government doesn't care at all about kids, aka the future of humanity... If there was this many cases at their office it would be shut down, not to mention seniors get priority care over children, I'm soo sick of trudumbs Canada

fordnation celliottability Sflecce do something now ! How can you sit back and wait for everyone to be adversely affected by this. Hospital beds are not the answer. Give us protection. Reinstate mandatory masking, testing and reporting in schools asap. Our kids deserve better

ICU numbers are going down!

The OFFICIALS should be made to be inside that school, unmasked for 2 weeks, everyday.

Brilliant

I thought schools weren't tracking

Everyone is gonna get this at some point. This is not news. Get vaxed to make it easier to deal with.

How long until people realize the obvious. This virus will eventually infect everyone. Masks, lockdowns, and the injections wont stop it. Get healthy. Natural immunity is key.

Dam son

I mean why close it, they open it with the understanding this will be the case. Might as well have them all catch it and continue going to school.

Seems like schools can't make a decision without an 'expert' telling them what to do. And these are the ones teaching our children about responsible action to a situation?

Maybe we should start reporting it as lice

Yep this is ridiculous, my boys school just this week has been 22 cases , they didn’t have that all of last year, and we are all home sick right now with a normal bug.

And it should

Good job Doug.

Let er rip! - Doug Ford

I remember when they would close a school with 3 cases. Times have changed

That's just lovely. Let it rip. Ruin some kid's potential. 👍

Seems like a stupid decision. Classmates, friends, family, everyone they encounter may end up infected. The school is the cause. This new wave isn't kidding around.

Wouldn’t want anyone to get the sniffles.

Good. Enough with the fear porn.

Why wouldn't they stay open? Because kids have a cold? Wow.

Hey I know that school

But convoy science knew all..😏😏
