Toronto Public Health issues Section 22 Class Order to close workplaces to manage #COVID19 outbreaks. News release: toronto.ca/news/toronto-p…
As easily transmitted #COVID19 variants of concern spread quickly throughout Toronto and the GTA, outbreaks are increasingly linked to workplaces, where the virus can spread through close contact between workers.
To reduce this significant risk to the city’s health, @TOPublicHealth will issue a Section 22 order for workplaces. This Order is a necessary tool to break the chains of transmission within Toronto workplaces where #COVID19 is determined to be spreading.
• The Order is planned to require the closure of certain workplaces, or portions of workplaces, where five or more confirmed cases are identified within a 14-day period and where cases could reasonably have been acquired through infection in the workplace. (cont.)
• The workplace closure will be in effect for a minimum period of 10 calendar days.
• During this time, workers at the affected workplace will be required to self-isolate. (cont.)
• Certain workplaces, such as health care facilities, schools, child care centres, and workplaces providing critical services may be exempt from full closure requirements.

The Order will be available at toronto.ca, when issued, by Friday April 23, 2021.
