This comes as it was announced public schools across Ontario will be shuttered for two weeks following March break and the University of Toronto announced that it will cancel all in-person undergraduate courses, as well as research-stream masters and doctoral courses, across its three campuses from Monday to April 3.

At this time, there are 54 confirmed cases in the province in addition to five full recoveries. The province says it's currently waiting for test results from 536 people.
