The Toronto Public Health war room in downtown Toronto. Forty public health nurses jammed shoulder to shoulder in one room for the day being trained on how to track the outbreak of COVID-19. Toronto Public Health did not even have an “active screening protocol” for people entering its main building until March 27. “Loblaws up the street had better sanitary precautions than we did at Toronto Public Health,” said one nurse insider who works for the city. The tracing work is done by telephone mostly and Toronto Public Health wanted it done by staff working together, rather than from home.
