Bottom Line
In light of the rising number of COVID-19 cases, on November 20,
2020, the Ontario government announced that certain provincial
regions would be moved into different coloured zones of the Keeping Ontario Safe and Open Framework (the
"Framework").
Among other re-categorizations, The City of Toronto and Region
of Peel were moved into the most restrictive "Grey –
Lockdown Zone" of the Framework, effective Monday, November
23, 2020. These regions will remain in this zone for at least
28 days.
Coinciding with these re-categorizations, on November 22, 2020,
the Ontario Government published regulations detailing updated
requirements applicable to businesses operating in the Grey Zone
(Stage 1), the Red Zone (Stage 2), and the Green/Yellow/Orange Zones (Stage 3).
