Coronavirus: impact on the retail landscape in Canada - statistics & facts
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a worldwide impact on people’s well-being and personal lives, social events, the economy, as well as the retail landscape. Canada is no exception to this. Over the past two years now, the North American country accounted for a cumulative total of nearly three and a half million confirmed COVID-19 cases, many of which occurred in the most populated provinces of Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. With the majority of the population having been fully vaccinated as of March 2022, Canadians are inching closer to normal life once more.
