In Vancouver, Mayor Kennedy Stewart is convening a special virtual council meeting on Thursday aimed at getting support for the declaration of a local state of emergency during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stewart says the measure would allow the city to take action against people who are hoarding.

It would also let the city act on businesses that have remained open when they should be closed to prevent the spread of the disease.
