Toronto Public Health issues Section 22 Class Order to close workplaces to manage #COVID19 outbreaks. News release: toronto.ca/news/toronto-p…
As easily transmitted #COVID19 variants of concern spread quickly throughout Toronto and the GTA, outbreaks are increasingly linked to workplaces, where the virus can spread through close contact between workers.
To reduce this significant risk to the city’s health, @TOPublicHealth will issue a Section 22 order for workplaces. This Order is a necessary tool to break the chains of transmission within Toronto workplaces where #COVID19 is determined to be spreading.
Since the start of the pandemic there have been a total of 134,534 cases of COVID-19 in the city, an increase of 1,477 new cases today. There are 881 people hospitalized. To date, there have been 2,937 COVID-19 deaths in Toronto. Case status data: toronto.ca/home/covid-19/…

The #CityofTO, with the support from staff in shelters, 24-hour respite sites, COVID-19 response sites, and outreach staff, will conduct Toronto’s fifth Street Needs Assessment (SNA) starting today. Learn more: toronto.ca/news/city-of-t…
The SNA is a city-wide point-in-time count and survey of people experiencing homelessness: toronto.ca/community-peop…
The initiative will be led by staff from City-administered shelters, 24-hour respite sites, COVID-19 response sites and outreach agencies, as well as staff in provincially-administered sites. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteers were not recruited for this year’s SNA.
The City’s cherry blossom trees are in bloom and once again Torontonians can take in their beauty from the comfort of their own homes. To encourage everyone to stay home and stay safe, the City will offer #BloomAtHome, a 24-hour 4K BloomCam livestream during the peak bloom period
The BloomCam can be viewed at toronto.ca/cherryblossoms. In keeping with the provincial Stay-at-Home order and to slow the spread of COVID-19, the City has implemented measures to prevent crowding and gathering in High Park by closing public access to the cherry blossom groves.
