COVID-19 has hit a major transit project in Toronto.
Crosslinx Transit Solutions says 28 workers have the illness and another 70 are in isolation.
A Crosslinx spokeswoman says the cases are linked to employees and subcontractors at eight sites of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
Kristin Jenkins says 17 of the positive cases were community-acquired, 10 people were infected at work and one case is undetermined.
Jenkins says Crosslinx has started issuing formal written notices to workers not adhering to COVID-19 guidelines.
In October, Crosslinx took the provincial government to court over alleged COVID-19-related delays and cost overruns with the project.
