The rapid rise in COVID-19 cases, specifically those with the Omicron variant, has forced several schools in the Kingston region to switch from in-class to online learning.
The Limestone District School Board notified parents of the change via Twitter on Monday.
The following schools are closed until further notice due to a lack of staffing caused by various outbreaks:
- Module de l’Acadie
- Amherstview Public School
- Storrington Public School
- Southview Public School
- Bath Public School
- Polson Park Public School

- Molly Brant Public School
Loyalist Regional and Vocational Institue has seen five of its classes affected by positive COVID-19 cases.
