Mayor John Tory declared a state of emergency for the City of Toronto on Monday in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The mayor made the announcement via video conference as he remains in self-isolation on the advice of medical experts after his recent travel outside of Canada.
The emergency declaration gives Tory the ability to make certain decisions that normally require full city council approval.
While Tory thanked the businesses and people who are following guidelines and social distancing practices, he said those that are not adhering to the rules are being “selfish” and this declaration will now send a “strong message” to them.
