In a statement to Narcity, the university stated that a number of students have been removed for a period of no longer than 10 days. 

The move comes after the students were reportedly given multiple warnings to follow COVID-19 rules and regulations. 

According to McGill's website, the school has been battling multiple positive cases. 

Ninty-three people on campus have tested positive for COVID-19 as of January 24.

Out of those cases, 44 of them were reported to be living on-campus.

"The safety of our students and staff is our foremost guiding principle," McGill added.
