Here is a roundup of the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic in the Greater Toronto Area for May 23, 2020.

“The plan is to have people stay in their vehicles -- start in the parking lot and literally drive through our front entrance and use the walking paths," Toronto Zoo CEO Dolf DeJong said.

Montana, a nearly 20-year-old bobcat, died on Friday after complications from end-stage kidney failure.

"There are lights, there are lasers, there is music, there are smoke machines -- there are so many pieces to (Terra Lumina) that it's really hard to describe."

The zoo says it was contacted by the Ontario Poison Centre on June 7 and asked to help a woman who needed treatment after being bitten by a Malayan pit viper.

Toronto Public Health is investigating two lab-confirmed cases of measles and warning that some people may have been exposed to the highly contagious virus.

Eight-year-old Tori, a female Grevy zebra, gave birth to a male foal in the early hours of Feb. 13.
