Some guidance on what is coming. Likely that Toronto, Peel, Ottawa lose gyms and indoor dining for 28 days starting tomorrow. Casinos remain open though (isn't that a clear conflict of interest and they should be one of the first things whacked?).
It will be interesting to see what happens with york, durham, oakville restaurants as Torontonians spread out to spend their dining dollars. Gyms are even worse as many will just go to an associated facility outside of the perimeter to work out. Hopefully gyms implement policies to prevent this as otherwise they risk the whole industry getting paused.
