No groups larger than 5 people.
The Ontario government has issued a new emergency order to prohibit organized public events and social gatherings of more than five people, effective immediately.
However, the order would not apply to private households with five people or more.
It would also not apply to operating child care centres supporting frontline health care workers and first responders, while funerals would be permitted to proceed with up to 10 people at one time.
Premier Doug Ford said, “If we are going to stop the spread of COVID-19 now and keep our communities safe, we need to take extraordinary measures to ensure physical distancing.”
He added, “I strongly encourage everyone to do the responsible thing and stay home unless absolutely necessary. I can assure everyone that we will do everything in our power to stop this virus in its tracks.”
