Emergency Orders Extended In Ontario

The Ford government is not going to lift restrictions on gatherings of more than five people just yet.

That and other emergency orders are being extended until May 29th.

That includes the closure of bars and restaurants except for takeout and deliveries and staff redeployment rules for long-term care homes along with what are termed congregate settings like retirement homes and women’s shelters.

The government is also allowing drive-in religious gatherings.

Today the province began the first stage of its reopening plans for businesses and public places. That includes the reopening of some outdoor recreation areas including sports facilities and multi-use fields, off-leash dog parks and outdoor picnic sites.
