Approximately 5200 employees of Indigo Books &Music Inc. are being laid off as of today.
The Toronto-based book seller has decided to keep its stores closed indefinitely during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Indigo had paid its staffers though March 27th after temporarily closing its stores March 17th.
The company says it expects to ``re-embrace'' as many employees as possible once stores reopen.
