TORONTO — Ontario is extending its emergency orders for another 10 days, including banning people from dining in bars and restaurants, and gathering in groups larger than five.
The orders had been set to expire June 9, but the province announced today that they are being extended until June 19.
They include the closure of child care centres, though Premier Doug Ford has said that a phased reopening plan for them will be announced early next week.
Extending the emergency orders also means the continued closure of bars and restaurants except for take-out and delivery, libraries except for curbside pick-up or delivery, and theatres.
It also means that Ontarians looking to use playgrounds, or beat the heat at public pools and splash pads are out of luck until at least June 19.
The province recently extended its state of emergency until June 30.
Just carry on with life !Open up hair salons so we can feel like we are human !🙏🙏
Does anyone actually know someone who has/had the Covid19 flu .
Open them borders
And ye the Yankees can come across the border,this is wrong if closed till june 30 then they shoud not be alowed to enter Canada either
The headline and the last sentence contradict eachother. This is simple stuff- which is it.
There is a State of Emergency and there are Emergency Measures. Just your standard government double speak.
What would happen if stores and restaurants just went ahead and opened up? Would Ford really take them to court? Does he even have a legal right to do so?
Liquor license rescinded. End of business….end of story!
nothing left to open up—–ALL GONE—-thanks ford
Businesses need to open to gain income to stay going
Hey Doug look out your window and see the large crowds of protesters, they are in crowds greater than 5 and no social distancing, what do you and Tory have to say about that. I know they have the right to protest but they are breaking the law the law that you enacted and have been threatening every one in Ontario with until now. A few weeks ago you and Tory were shooting off your yaps and telling people not to push you or you would shut the parks down again. I guess it must be ok for protesters to bring the virus back to their family. I would love for you to go on tv and explain why these laws are not being enforced.Time to get rid of these laws that you won’t enforce and rip up all those tickets you have handed out.
After this many months what’s 10 more days 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️. Lots of COV-IDIOTS out there still…I hope they keep the borders closed all summer!
We heard June 30th???
Hans Van Kuik that is state of emergency this is different
For people that are retired makes no difference to them..TIL they can’t go to camp or do something they love …
Very true….
Enough is enough let’s get on with life.. I know some are loving 2000 paycheques but they might not if when it’s over there are no jobs and money is gone!
I totally agree Lisa…..

Wasn’t it June 30?
I thought it was June 28th

What a joke
So go to a public pool. But can’t get a haircut! Seriously!🤬🤬🤬
Janetand Steve it says public pools and playgrounds are still closed
Stevi Jarrett sorry read that wrong. But still. It’s getting ridiculous. Let’s face it. It’s not about the safety. It’s about$$$$and who’s barking the loudest🤬. Tourism spreads money around haircuts not so much. It’s BS it’s about safety
what is this obsession with hair cuts?? 😂
This should not be the same situation in the whole province ! Not every city in ontario is the same as Toronto!
Until everyone becomes incredibly complacent and all of a sudden we’re worse then Toronto. Everyone needs to take a chill pill and relax. I’m not prepared to loose loved ones to this virus, I don’t know about you 🤷♀️
