Toronto Mayor John Tory reflected Monday on the announcement of Canada’s first COVID-19 case one year ago in Toronto, thanking front-line workers as well as the Toronto Public Health team for their work over the past year.
“We will never forget all of our front-line heroes,” he said, adding that the pandemic has required “tremendous sacrifice of all of our residents and so many of our businesses.”
“It’s been a year of hardship and sadly, a year of tragedy for many families," Tory said, stating that more than 2,000 Torontonians have died from COVD-19.
On Jan. 23, 2020, a 56-year-old man, who had just arrived back in the Toronto area from Wuhan, China, became Canada’s first case of COVID-19 — though the illness wasn’t yet called that, and it would take the medical team a few days to confirm it was indeed a case of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
