If you plan on visiting a bar or restaurant over the weekend, better attend earlier in the evening as Premier Doug Ford today (Friday) tightened up regulations.
The move is in response to the spike in new COVID-19 cases in the province, particularly with individuals in the 20 to 39 age bracket.
Here are the details of the amended orders:
- Apply additional measures and restrictions to restaurants, bars and other food and drink establishments (including nightclubs) by prohibiting the sale of alcohol after 11 p.m., and prohibiting the consumption of alcohol on the premises after 12:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. (including employees), and requiring establishments to close by 12:00 a.m. and remain closed until 5:00 a.m. except for takeout or delivery;
- Close all strip clubs across the province; and
- Require businesses or organizations to comply with any advice, recommendations, and instructions issued by the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health on screening for COVID-19, including screening individuals who wish to enter their premises.
