Provincewide shutdown
As COVID-19covid 19 cases continue to rise at an alarming rate, a provincewide shutdown is in effect as of Saturday, April 3, at 12:01 a.m.
This will help:

• save lives
• prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed
• protect in-person learning and keep children in schools
• allow for more time to vaccinate Ontarians
• stop the spread of COVID-19covid 19 in communities

This decision was made in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and other health experts.
What this means Starting April 3, the COVID-19covid 19 Response Framework (colour-coded zones) is paused.
We must all follow temporary restrictions and public health and workplace safety measures.
The impacts of these measures will be evaluated after one month to determine if it is safe to lift the restrictions or if they need to be extended.
You should:

• stay home as much as possible
• limit close contact to your household (the people you live with) and stay at least 2 metres apart from everyone else
• limit trips outside your home to necessities, such as:
  • getting food or medication
  • going to medical appointments
  • supporting vulnerable community members
  • child care
  • getting exercise or walking pets

Always:

• stay home if you have symptoms, even if they are mild
• stay two metres apart from people you don’t live with
• wear a mask or face covering in indoor public spaces or any time physical distancing is not possible
