The Ontario government has announced that it will be extending
all emergency orders that have been put in place to-date under
section 7.0.2(4) of the Emergency Management and Civil
Protection Act until May 29, 2020. A full list of those
orders can be found here. An exemption to the order
limiting public gatherings has been approved to allow drive-in
religious gatherings, under certain conditions to prevent the
spread of COVID-19.
Premier Ford has also confirmed that the remainder of the school
year will be cancelled, although virtual classrooms will continue
and voluntary summer school will be available to students, with the
aim to provide support for those who need it and to facilitate the
natural progression for all students. In response to questions, it
was also clear that additional measures will likely result in
school "looking different" upon return in September.
