Published Friday, January 1, 2021 3:20PM EST Toronto hospitals welcomed the first babies of 2021 early Friday morning, with the very first child coming into the world just 48 seconds after the clock struck midnight. Baby Thomas is believed to have been Toronto’s first baby of 2021 and spent most of New Year’s Day morning sleeping, according to his parents. Humber River Hospital shared news of the birth on Twitter, saying Thomas was born at 12:00:48 a.m., and weighed about 6.8 pounds. “Congratulations to the whole family on the arrival of their bundle of joy,” the hospital said. “Everyone is healthy and extremely happy.”
TORONTO For the second time in days, families and advocates protested outside the Tendercare Living Centre in Scarborough demanding the province provide more staffing support as the home continues to grapple with a COVID-19 outbreak. We needed them here much before now and for some it s unfortunately too late, but there are still others in there that are fighting for their lives,” said Jessica Wong who learned on Christmas Eve that her 82 year-old grandmother, Jean Wan Cheung, tested positive for the virus. “The concern is more of us going to lose loved ones.” Concern and frustration is mounting as 48 residents have now died from the virus according to North York General Hospital. There are also 101 active resident cases and 53 staff cases.
