There are currently 33 active cases linked to the outbreak at the training facility in Aylmer, Ont., while the rest are considered resolved, the Southwestern Public Health unit said Tuesday.
The outbreak at the college was first declared on Feb. 24 and all in-person classes were suspended the same day, said a spokesman for the Ministry of the Solicitor General.

Classes are currently being held virtually, said Ross.
