"By avoiding the panic buying, we can make sure that supply chains are not impacted and there is enough for everyone," Ford stated. 

While multiple venues will be closing their doors, grocery stores will remain open during the lockdown. 

At the beginning of the year, stores were stripped bare after Ford's government announced the province's first lockdown.

Everything from toilet paper to ground beef became temporarily unavailable to residents, thanks to worried Ontarians' panic buying. 

Ford's government assured residents the new lockdown measures were necessary to stop the second wave of COVID-19.
