The City of Toronto has just announced that it's had to close two community centres after health authorities discovered a COVID-19 case in a CampTO participant. The announcement was made in a release by the City on Wednesday, August 12.

Both the Barbara Frum Community Centre, which hosted the infected camper, and the Glen Long Community centres will be temporarily closed as a result. The camper was sent home last week with symptoms and has been self-isolating since.
