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: Team Toronto has now administered more than 750,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses, Metrolinx focuses on safety during stay-at-home order, June 21 set as new tentative date for restarting flights by Porter Airlines, Ontario Moves Schools to Remote Learning Following Spring Break, and more news from the COVID-19 front.
