An Ottawa elementary school has become the first in Ontario to close due to COVID-19 concerns after two staff members and two students tested positive. Parents with children at Monsignor Paul Baxter Catholic School in Ottawa's Barrhaven neighbourhood were notified about the closure on Saturday. Fellowes High School in Pembroke, Ont., became the first school in the province to close because of an outbreak of COVID-19 after staff members tested positive last week. Public health officials have notified parents, guardians and school staff of the positive tests. Kennedy said a mobile COVID-19 test site exclusively for staff, students and family members would also be set up on the school's grounds Monday and Tuesday.
