Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced Toronto and Peel will move into lockdown effective 12:01 am on November 23rd to deal with COVID-19 (CCP Virus) pandemic.
Doug Ford said people have to follow the rules to get through this.
Malls and churches will be closed in Toronto and Peel, but remain open in other areas like York, Durham, and Halton. Travel restrictions have not been announced to prevent people from moving between zones under lockdown and those who are not under lockdown.
