Large-scale reopening of Toronto won’t be anytime soon, Tory says
Mayor John Tory said Saturday he believes “it will be some time yet” before a larger scale reopening of Toronto is possible.
Meanwhile, in neighbouring Peel Region, the medical officer of health said he would like to first see the impact — over a period of two to four weeks — of the reopening of schools in Peel on Feb. 16 before the region gradually reopens further.
Both were reacting to The Canadian Press report from Friday, in which a source said the Ontario government was planning to gradually ease restrictions in the province, starting next week with regions that have been less affected by COVID-19.
