TORONTO Toronto has issued a new section 22 order to ensure all education settings are closed to in-person learning in order to curb the spread of COVID-19. The order, which was released on Thursday evening, will go into effect on May 10. According to a news release, the order is meant to “enhance the provincial lockdown regulation,” which has shuttered all in-class learning in schools as defined in the Education Act.
