Toronto Mayor, John Tory has declared a state of emergency in the city of Canada.
The decision came after he received advice Monday morning from Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health and the Office of Emergency Management.
The declaration of a municipal emergency is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to stop the spread of Covid-19, and the mayor hopes to ensure the municipal government can continue to “act and respond quickly to the pandemic and any other events that arise in the weeks ahead,” the city said in a statement.
