Toronto's top doctor is urging residents to keep following public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 variants as the city waits for more vaccines to be delivered.
Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto's medical officer of health, reported during the city's COVID-19 briefing Wednesday afternoon that there are 32 confirmed cases of variants in Toronto.
"The variant spread from elsewhere gives us every reason to believe variants will spread here in the same way," the doctor said. "So, in the weeks ahead, let's make decisions about the degree to which we mix with one another to make it harder – not easier – for COVID-19 to spread in any form."
"We do not want to make the situation worse."
Living with COVID-19 is like trying to find the way out of a maze, de Villa said, and vaccines can lead to the exit. While the delay in vaccine supplies is frustrating, she asks everyone to wait mindfully.
"The variants and the vaccines intersect on our way out of the pandemic because one can affect the other," De Villa said.
"We do not want the variant to complicate the role of the vaccine in bringing an end to the pandemic."
Dr. de Villa joined CP24 to answer questions about the COVID-19 pandemic.
