As COVID-19 cases continue to rise at an alarming rate, the government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and other health experts, is imposing a Provincewide Shutdown.

Additional restrictions will be put into place and reinforce that Ontarians should stay at home as much as possible to minimize transmission of the virus and prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.

The Provincewide Shutdown will go into effect as of Saturday, December 26, 2020 at 12:01 a.m.
