"Yorkdale operations has ensured a deep cleaning of all exterior surface areas in addition to frequent cleaning of all high-touch and high-traffic areas," said Lindsay.

Yorkdale Shopping Centre will continue to monitor the situation.

The shopping centre fully reopened on June 24, equipped with sanitizing stations and frequent cleaning in high-traffic areas.
