DAILY UPDATE: Huge increase of COVID-19 cases at schools in Milton, Oakville, Burlington on Dec. 13

COVID-19 cases have exploded at schools in Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Halton Hills on Dec. 13.

At the end of last Thursday, there were 54 active infections. Based on published case counts today, however, the number has climbed to 85 total cases in staff and students spread over 41 schools.

The increase was largely accounted for in Halton Catholic board schools, as there are now 57 cases, up from 30 last week.

A total of 22 classrooms are closed. When a classroom is closed, students are sent home to quarantine for at least 10 days and learn remotely.

As older cases are resolved, schools are removed from the listing.
