SHARE TORONTO -- Some Toronto residents are lending a helping hand to local Chinese businesses that have seen a drop in sales due to fears and misconceptions around the deadly coronavirus.
As the virus continues to spread, health officials around the world and in the Greater Toronto Area are working to contain the illness and calm fears around the outbreak.
In another part of the city, over at Toronto's Upper Beach neighbourhood, the Flower Centre reported that its sales dropped by half over the past month. “For him and the rest of the Chinese community to go through this, it’s a travesty,” Brown told CTV News Toronto on Sunday. “We all have to stand together and do the right thing.”
“This is ridiculous. We need to support all of our local businesses so I came down I bought some flowers,” she said. As of Sunday, the current case count f in the province is three confirmed, zero presumptive confirmed and 42 currently under investigation.
