Ontario Premier Doug Ford is ordering the closure of all non-essential businesses in the province.
Speaking Monday afternoon, he says the order will be effective Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. and will be in place for at least 14 days.
Ford says he will release the list of businesses Tuesday that will be allowed to stay open, but food will remain on the grocery store shelves and people will still have access to medication.
