Here's what's changing in Toronto during the shutdown

There are a few more restrictions within the shutdown than there were in the lockdown.

The lockdown zone was recently revised to permit outdoor dining, however, restaurants will only be permitted to operate delivery and takeout services during the shutdown.

Outdoor gathering limits have also been lowered from ten to five people and outdoor fitness classes are now prohibited.

Religious services, weddings, and funerals can take place indoors at 15% capacity indoors and can be modified outdoors to the number of people that can safely social distance.

Indoor social gatherings associated with or following any wedding, funeral, or religious service, rite or ceremony are not permitted, meaning that you can have a wedding but not a reception.
