The Ontario government is closing all publicly funded schools across the province for two weeks following March break due to concerns about COVID-19.
Doug Ford's government said in a statement the move is "necessary to keep people safe" and based on the advice of Dr. David Williams, Ontario's chief medical officer of health.
Schools will be closed from March 14 to April 5.
