Almost 700 of the 2,020 cases were in Toronto.

Toronto, Peel, and Ottawa currently have approximately two weeks left of modified stage 2. Premier Ford has not disclosed whether these measures will be extended.

Today, Ford is expected to announce additional regions that will see closures, which could include Halton and Durham.
