City Update: Supporting Initiatives to Combat COVID-19 in Toronto
The City of Toronto supports the following initiatives:
“Increasing testing in neighbourhoods experiencing higher COVID-19 case rates, expanding the number of provincial testing sites using City facilities, using buses for mobile testing, providing more transportation to testing sites and extending testing site hours.””Targeting outreach, case management, and providing support to residents who face multiple barriers, like food support and income services, and providing relevant public education to residents and employers. Residents will also receive masks.””Measures for those who test positive and are unable to work due to mandatory isolation. The City said they will address the threat of eviction and improve access to emergency assistance like residential eviction protection, income supports, and newcomer access to COVID-19 services.”Thank you, Daily Hive Toronto, for sharing this information with our communities.
