As of 12:01 a.m. on April 3, 2021, the order will see all Canadian provinces move into another lockdown known as “emergency break lockdown” under Ontario’s COVID-19 response framework.
This morning I woke up to an alarming response of questions and I sourced this information for the industries I operate in:
Organized public events and social gatherings
-
Indoor organized public events and social gatherings are not allowed, except with members of the same household (the people you live with).
-
Individuals who live alone and single parents may consider having exclusive, close contact with another household to help reduce the negative impacts of social isolation.
