The Ontario Government has announced today a second Provincial Emergency with a province-wide Stay-at-Home order and Enhanced Enforcement Measures to slow the spread of COVID-19.
All businesses must ensure that any employee who can work from home, does work from home.
All non-essential retail stores, including those offering curbside pickup or delivery, must open no earlier than 7 a.m. and close no later than 8 p.m.
Under the declaration of a provincial emergency, the province will provide authority to all enforcement and provincial offences officers, to issue tickets to individuals who do not comply with the stay-at-home-order, or those not wearing a mask or face covering indoors as well as retail operators and companies who do not enforce. Those who decide not to abide by orders will be subject to set fines and/or prosecution.
