The global COVID-19 pandemic is having far-reaching effects in Toronto, including major impacts on what have been booming real estate and building industries. Many jobs and most events are currently suspended, postponed, or affected in other ways, though UrbanToronto is still operating at full strength with our team working remotely. As a means to keep the public in the loop about the shutdowns, we'll be sharing information and status updates from around the industry on a regular basis. 

In today's report: City of Toronto supports provincial decision to keep Toronto in Shutdown Zone and subject to Stay-at-Home Order, Ontario administers over half a million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and more news from the COVID-19 front.
