CTV
Ontario is expected to announce economic supports for businesses impacted by new COVID-19 restrictions on Wednesday, CP24 has learned.
A spokesperson for Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy told CP24 the provincial government will also be calling on the federal government to adjust their programs so that Ontario businesses can benefit from them.
Late last week, Ontario slashed capacity limits for most indoor settings to 50 per cent, including restaurants and bars, personal care services, retailers, and shopping malls. Restaurants and bars have also been ordered to close at 11 p.m., with the exception of take out and delivery service.
Last call for alcohol is now at 10 p.m.
The restrictions were announced amid new modelling that showed the Omicron variant rapidly spreading across the province.
