Re-opening In Ontario After COVID-19 Lockdown
One of the many stores forced to close due to the financial strain of the 4-month lockdown seen during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on July 10, 2020. Ontario has entered 'stage 2' of the 3 stage reopening plan following a 4-month lockdown to flatten the curve of the virus. Some three million jobs were lost in Canada over March and April due to the pandemic, and 2.5 million more had their hours and earnings slashed. By last month, some 3.1 million were affected by the pandemic, including 1.4 million who weren't at work due to COVID-19. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
