NEW: In troubled times, some people step up to take on dangerous tasks that would send others running.
That& #39;s what 51-year-old Stephen Lew is doing. He& #39;s moved from his City of Toronto IT managing job to clean Toronto& #39;s largest long-term care home. http://torstar.co/3iO050zBD1N ">https://torstar.co/3iO050zBD...

In March, Lew was making a computerized waiting list to help those in the @cityoftoronto with housing. When COVID-19, he was asked to be redeployed. He could have said no, but says “it was pretty clear when I got here that the need was dire." https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/05/08/city-it-manager-settles-into-new-job-cleaning-torontos-largest-long-term-care-home.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=GTA&utm_content=cityITmanagercleaning">https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/...
He was nervous at first — especially because he has asthma and high blood pressure. But after five weeks of wiping down surfaces with disinfectant in the 456-bed facility, which miraculously has been free of COVID-19, he& #39;s over the fear. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/05/08/city-it-manager-settles-into-new-job-cleaning-torontos-largest-long-term-care-home.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=GTA&utm_content=cityITmanagercleaning">https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/...
Lew has been sharing his thoughts over Facebook, in a segment he calls "Diary of a COVID Cleaner." He shares the stories of his new role — the challenges and the impact it has on his family. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/05/08/city-it-manager-settles-into-new-job-cleaning-torontos-largest-long-term-care-home.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=GTA&utm_content=cityITmanagercleaning">https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/...
His wife and two children are still uneasy, Lew says — particularly his 15-year-old son, who’s done a lot of reading about the virus.
The Star& #39;s @TOStarfixer was first alerted after a recently retired city employee nominated Lew as a "COVID hero." https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/05/08/city-it-manager-settles-into-new-job-cleaning-torontos-largest-long-term-care-home.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=GTA&utm_content=cityITmanagercleaning">https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/...

“The job is basically wipe and repeat, over and over, but it works.”
