Toronto Public Health has told four workplaces to close completely and seven others to close partially to control COVID-19 outbreaks at those businesses.
The closures, which come under Section 22 of Ontario s Health Protection and Promotion Act, will be temporary and will allow public health officials to investigate the outbreaks.
On Monday evening, TPH released a list of names of the companies that have received written instructions to close fully and partially. TPH said originally it would close eight businesses partially, but said later it decided after it investigated that a partial closure was no longer needed at the eighth workplace to lower the risk of transmission among employees.
