Masks are also now being recommended outdoors where physical distancing of more than two metres is not possible. All non-essential retail will be forced to close by 8 p.m. and open no earlier than 7 a.m. These limits don't apply to stores that primarily sell food, gas stations, pharmacies, convenience stores or restaurants providing take-out or delivery. The province says the measures are in effect for all of Ontario and will remain in place until at least Feb. 11. "How this will help stop the spread of COVID-19 is anyone's guess," the organization said in a release.
