Toronto Mayor John Tory joins Dr. Eileen de Villa, medical officer of health for Toronto, and other officials to provide an update on the city's response to COVID-19 on Wednesday.
On Monday, Tory announced that the city would be cancelling all public events through June 30, including the Pride Parade, in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of the community, as the city nears almost 800 total cases of the novel coronavirus disease.
