Education Minister Stephen Lecce is announcing Ontario schools will be closed three weeks to deal with concerns over COVID-19.

The music industry has cancelled the JUNOs. It’s all in a bid to reduce the spread of the fast-spreading virus which is particularly harmful to seniors. About 10 to 15 per cent of people over 80 die when they get COVID 19.
