Premier Doug Ford’s constituency office in Etobicoke has confirmed a COVID-19 outbreak Friday morning.
A statement from his office said Toronto Public Health confirmed cases among staff members, though the total number was not confirmed.
However, spokesperson Ivana Yelich said Ford has not visited the office in the past two weeks and therefore had no exposure.
