- Restaurants:
- can only offer take-out, drive-through, or delivery
- all indoor and outdoor dining is closed
- All open businesses must follow capacity limits as per the provincial guidelines (25% for essential stores, and non-essential retail must close).

In addition, there are some further requirements for certain types of businesses. Learn more about sector-specific information here.
At this time, the shutdown restrictions do not
