COVID-19 are preventing in-store shopping for all but essential businesses, and the lack of clarity surrounding the orders are making for a less-than-festive season for locals.As customers wait by the door, Steven Gerry emerged from his midtown Toronto gift shop with a handful of greeting cards and products hoping to make a sale.
