Toronto mayor John Tory will be joined by medical officer of health Dr. Eileen de Villa and Fire Chief Matthew Pegg to provide an update on the city’s COVID-19 cases and the ongoing response to the pandemic on Tuesday.

Ontario reported 2,964 new cases of the novel coronavirus Sunday, and 25 additional deaths.

“Locally, there are 786 new cases in Toronto, 346 in Peel, 308 in York Region, 197 in Durham and 187 in Windsor-Essex County,” Health Minister Christine Elliott said.

Students across Ontario will also return to the virtual classroom today as part of a provincewide lockdown.

The measure ends for all students in northern Ontario and elementary students in southern Ontario after the first week back from winter break. High schoolers in southern Ontario will continue online learning until Jan. 25.

The provincial lockdown began on Boxing Day and is set to last until Jan. 9 in northern Ontario and Jan. 23 in southern Ontario.
