Overnight layover in Toronto as of early June 2020? - Silhouettes of Buildings in Canada During Sunrise

I'm considering booking a flight from the US to Germany to tend to a family emergency. The connection that I'm currently looking at has an overnight layover in Toronto. Is it possible to use this connection under current circumstances?

To the extent that it matters, I'm a German citizen with a Canadian work permit living in Canada, but have spent the past few months of lockdown in the US. As a temporary resident, I believe that I would be able to enter Canada under current regulations. But returning travellers to Canada are subject to two weeks of quarantine. However, is transit with an overnight layover still possible?

I'd be spending the night at an airport hotel, or inside the airport if necessary.
