Ontario to close all non-essential businesses, as province confirms 78 new COVID-19 cases

 

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is ordering all non-essential stores and services to close starting Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19.

This comes as public health officials in Ontario confirmed 78 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday morning, raising the province’s total to 503.

The list of what constitutes essential and non-essential services and stores will be released Tuesday, but Ford insisted residents will be able to buy food and medicine and other essential products, and that “the power will stay on” and telecommunications tools will continue to run.
