Federal and local governments have stopped all non-essential activity, canceled school and restricted large gatherings. Ottawa has urged people to stay at home but has stopped short of ordering a general quarantine. Mike Stewart of Oakwyn Realty Downtown Ltd. put it this way: “We have cancelled all our open houses, and it is dead as a door nail out there."
