Toronto's Chief Medical Officer has a fan account dedicated to her scarves
As Toronto and the world at large are facing uncertain social and economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, pockets of the world are rallying together to bring some levity to the situation.
Such is the case, right here, in Toronto.
A Twitter account has been created celebrating the varied scarf choices of Toronto’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Eileen de Villa.
The account simply called, Dr. de Villa’s Scarf.
City Councillor Joe Cressy thanked whoever made the account on Twitter.
“Pausing from non-stop COVID-19 meetings to thank whoever out there decided to create a twitter account for our Medical Officer of Health’s scarfs. Dr. Eileen de Villa is among the most dedicated and talented civil servants you will ever meet,” said Cressy. “She also has a great scarf game.”

Similarly on the west coast, fans took to social media to show their appreciation for British Columbia’s Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry who has become a hopeful and needed voice during the unsettling times.
The public praised Henry, with some even writing her songs to show their appreciation.
While it is not known who the creator of Dr. de Villa’s Scarf is, it’s clearly paying homage to the woman who has become the face for Toronto’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
