As Ontario continues to battle against COVID-19, restaurants have shut down in many parts of the province. 

Patrick Brown, the Mayor of Brampton, blamed the premier for the region's recent spike of cases on Sunday due to the closure of Brampton's indoor dining. 

Brown told CP24 that Ford's decision has caused the disease to spread quicker.
