Office of the Chief Executive

COVID-19 update

Today (March 31) a fifth employee tested positive for COVID-19. He is an Operator at the Mount Dennis Division and has not been at work since Saturday, March 14. His symptoms began on March 19. Since he did not work from March 17 onwards, TPH advised that are no workplace exposures to follow up on and there is no risk to our employees or to the public.

As we continue to move through these uncertain and often stressful times, I want to assure you that the Executive Team and I are continuing to listen to your concerns, assess our operations, and make sure we are in line with recommended best practices from Toronto Public Health.

Thank you again for showing up for the city at this difficult time and delivering service we can all be proud of.

Please join me in wishing all of our colleagues recuperating from their COVID-19 infections a speedy recovery.

Richard J. Leary
