Mayor John Tory says that Torontonians seem to finally be getting the message on the importance of physical distancing after weeks of warnings from various public officials.

Tory made the comment to CP24 on Monday morning on the heels of a weekend blitz to enforce a new bylaw prohibiting people from being within two metres of one another in public squares and parks.

They spoke to more than 700 people on Saturday alone and issued warnings to 373 of them but only wrote nine tickets. “I think the warnings were people that perhaps let things slip for a minute but I think people are getting the message and I hope that they continue to get the message because this next couple of weeks is key to seeing whether that trend line continues up or whether it starts to slow down,” Tory said. “I think it will continue to go up for a bit yet based on all the projections we have been told but we have the ability to influence that and I hope we do.

Ontario students begin e-learning as COVID-19 closures continueStudents across Ontario begin online learning today, more than three weeks after COVID-19 shuttered schools in the name of physical distancing. Some virus will remain airborne. 2 M distancing is not enough. Wearing a mask or handmade one, or using alcohol, detergent, and eye drops like me. My simple, powerful secret methods for the coronavirus or flu virus are very effective. Ridiculous! Received a notice saying MANDATORY.... however.... special needs students require specialized equipment, assistance in the classroom, etc..! In some cases single parents are trying to keep the house running and/or don’t have the ability to help the child! No. E-Learning is something planned and designed for an entire year of carefully monitored course work. This is emergency remote teaching.
