Additional businesses and services will soon be forced to close as the fight escalates against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Premier Doug Ford said yesterday that the provincial government is going to be adjusting its list of 74 different essential workplaces that have been allowed to remain open since March 25.
Ford says he’ll announce the reduced list in the next day or so.
Currently, essential workplaces include: supermarkets, pharmacies, pet stores, LCBO outlets, Beer Store locations, cannabis retailers, banks, and most construction projects.
The Premier says he is also considering a mandatory “stay home” order across the province.
