    I understand that the photos of people in Trinity Bellwoods were disappointing today. It was a beautiful day & we all want to enjoy our city together, but this could be selfish & dangerous behaviour that could set us back. (1/3)

    You may not be able to tell, but I have a huge smile under that mask. I just received my first dose of vaccine this evening at the Cloverdale TO immunization clinic. #GotMyVax #GotMyShot

    #COVID19 is spreading at an alarming rate in TO. That's why I'm taking action now to reduce virus spread in our city, save lives, preserve our health system for those who need it most & mitigate broader health, social & economic impacts: bit.ly/2UdrwwH

    I've never been more concerned about the threat of #COVID19 in TO. I'd love to say we're ready to reopen, but today it's better to delay until the time is right. Let's keep doing all we can to protect our city so we can get back to brighter days sooner: bit.ly/37ogY4G

    This morning, I tested positive for #COVID19. I'm following public health guidelines & resting at home. I feel relatively well & owe that to keeping up to date with my #COVID19 vaccines. If you haven't already, get your next eligible dose to protect you, your ❤️ones & community.

    Please keep a physical distance and do not socialize in group settings, especially indoors. Please continue to practise physical distancing, & please continue to take care of each other. (3/3)

    As I shared on Friday, we are seeing an increase in #COVID19: bit.ly/36oa1yK & lost too many loved ones. We must continue #PhysicalDistancing to keep moving forward (2/3)

    Today I made new recommendations to residents & the Province to break the dangerous chain of #COVID19 transmission & reduce the risk of further illness, stressing the health care system & further straining our economy. Read my statement: bit.ly/3iqcvkG

    Dose three! Thanks to the @TOPublicHealth team at Cloverdale clinic this evening. I booked my appointment on Monday when I became eligible — I encourage everyone to do the same. We are going to get through this Toronto.

    New polling released on Monday found that 89% of respondents in ON have, or will, get their #Vaccine. This is great news! Thank you to all for continuing to do your part!

    Since the beginning of this pandemic I’ve asked residents to take care of each other. Today I'm asking for this again & this is why I'm asking City Council to require masks or face covering in all public settings to help stop the spread of #COVID19: bit.ly/38cYIu8

    I know the advice we are giving isn’t easy, but this year we need to spend Thanksgiving with just the people we live with to reduce the risk of #COVID19 spread in our city. Please connect with others virtually to celebrate & stay safer.
    Replying to @celliottability
    This #Thanksgiving, only celebrate with those in your household and gather with friends and family virtually. Please follow public health measures to help stop the spread of #COVID19.

    #COVID19 is spreading in a serious way & our choices now will determine what happens next. I'm asking you to carefully plan #Thanksgiving & limit contact as much as possible to people you live with. Read my statement: bit.ly/36xcMju

    My long weekend included my second COVID-19 vaccine - #Moderna this time! Thank you to all the #mtcc #VaxTO staff who work tirelessly 7 days a week.
