The global COVID-19 pandemic is having far-reaching effects in Toronto, including major impacts on the 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: Toronto Public Health and hospital partners complete more than 12,000 out-of-province vaccination records, Mayor Tory announces 70 per cent of eligible Toronto residents are fully vaccinated, promotes this weekend’s Home Stretch Vaccine Push in Taylor-Massey, and more news from the COVID-19 front.
