New restrictions include:

  • Schools to shift to online learning until January 17 (subject to public health trends and operational considerations)
  • No indoor dining
    • outdoor to have max 10 people (food courts in malls to close as well)
  • 50 per cent capacity at retail stores
  • Indoor wedding/funeral services reduced to 50 per cent capacity of the room

Business required to close include:

  • Casinos/bingo halls
  • Concert venues, theatres, cinemas
  • Indoor sport and recreational fitness facilities

Hospitals will also be pausing all non-emergent procedures and and non-urgent surgeries.
