Peel Region shutters schools for 2 weeks, moving to remote learning amid surge in COVID-19 cases


Schools in Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga will be closed for the next two weeks, after Peel Public Health issued a Section 22 order under the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act. Under the order, learning will be remote only beginning 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday and lasting at least until the end of day on April 18. Decisions on whether to extend the order "will be made, as required," Peel Public Health said in a statement. A spokesperson for Toronto Public Health said the public health unit is not looking at issuing its own Section 22 order at this time. Caitlin Clark, a spokesperson for Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce, said: "Schools remain safe with strong public health measures in place."
