An Etobicoke elementary school is moving to remote learning as health officials investigate several COVID-19 cases at the facility.
Toronto Public Health (TPH) said it recommended that students at Greenholme Junior Middle School, located near Kipling Avenue and Albion Road, be temporarily dismissed from in-person classes and activities starting Friday.
Health officials said 10 COVID-19 cases have been identified at the school.

Close contacts have been notified, asked to stay home, monitor for symptoms and get tested, officials said.
TPH said dismissing the school is a “precautionary measure” aimed at preventing further spread of COVID-19.
The Toronto District School Board said all students at the school will move to remote learning.
It’s not yet clear when in-person classes will resume.
Earlier this week, Silverthorn Collegiate Institute on Mill Road also moved to remote learning amid a COVID-19 investigation.
On the advice of @TOPublicHealth, all students at Greenholme JMS are being dismissed effective tomorrow, Friday, October 15 to allow TPH additional time to investigate COVID-19 cases at the school.
All students will be moving to remote learning during this time. https://t.co/IsyzVN3GGb
