More than 400 students and staff from a Windsor-Essex elementary school are in isolation following the region's first COVID-19 school outbreak. This is the region's first school outbreak and the first time an entire Windsor-Essex school has been sent home. According to the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB), 430 staff and students were attending classes in-person and are now at home. He said he's uncertain about what the school board is going to do and that the school closure was not properly communicated to teachers, who found out about it through social media. Ahmed said the school community is diverse so the health unit is making sure their communications cater to the different demographics.
