Adil Butt tested positive for coronavirus in the first week of December 2020 in Toronto. He chose to self-isolate longer than recommended to protect his family.
When Adil Butt's body started to ache, he immediately isolated himself in a small bedroom for a month to keep his young family safe from COVID-19.
The 42-year-old lives in Thorncliffe Park, a tightly knit community of apartment buildings in Toronto's east end. Neighbours have been hit hard by the coronavirus.
Butt phoned to inquire about testing at a local pop-up site on Saturday, Dec. 5, got tested and received his positive result the following Monday.
