Canada-Toronto put into lockdown as infections soar

Toronto, Canada’s largest city, was put into lockdown for 28 days on Friday, with officials closing shops, businesses and restaurants and preventing indoor gatherings to curb an increasing rise in Covid-19 cases.

Indoor social gatherings or events that involve members of different households will be halted, and outdoor gatherings will be restricted to no more than 10 people, Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared.
“We cannot afford a province-wide lockdown, so we are taking preventative action today by moving Toronto and Peel into lockdown level restrictions,” he told. “We need to take decisive action to stop the spread of this deadly virus.”
