The provincial government has just announced modifications to Ontario's COVID-19 framework.

Starting on Saturday, March 20 at 12:01 a.m., dining restrictions in the grey, red and orange zones will change slightly, says the government.

According to the release, indoor dining capacities in the orange and red zones will increase to allow for up to "approximately 50 per cent of the indoor dining area to be accessible to the public, subject to physical distancing rules," although capacity can't exceed 50 people in red zones and 100 people in orange zones.

In the grey zone, outdoor dining will now be allowed, "subject to physical distancing rules and a number of other public health and workplace safety measures," which means Toronto and Peel can finally partake in outdoor dining again.

In the red and orange zones, tables for indoor dining will be limited to members of the same household, and grey will see the same rule for outdoor dining.
