Photo essay: Here’s what Toronto looks like during the COVID-19 pandemic

By Brent Smyth

Seeing City Hall, Yonge-Dundas Square and the Eaton Centre all but empty was a strange sight. However, it was an encouraging sign that hopefully we are starting to take this seriously. These photos were taken on March 19.
