TORONTO — A mall in Toronto’s west end has confirmed that two separate people who tested positive for COVID-19 went to restaurants at the shopping centre.

A spokesperson for Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke says the two individuals were in JOEY and The Keg Steakhouse.

She was unable to confirm if they were staff or patrons.
