Toronto's medical officer of health has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a post on social media.

"I'm following public health guidelines & resting at home," Dr. Eileen de Villa said on Twitter Wednesday.

"I feel relatively well & owe that to keeping up to date with my #COVID19 vaccines. If you haven't already, get your next eligible dose to protect you, your loved ones & community."

De Villa has spent more than two years informing the city about the virus, providing updates on the spread of COVID-19 and issuing public health guidance.
