The Canadian province of Ontario will reopen some hair salons and outdoor dining at restaurants among other businesses on Friday, the provincial government announced on Monday, but only in health regions where the spread of COVID-19 is under better control.
The reopenings will begin as of midnight on Friday in 24 of the 34 health regions in Canada’s most populous province and the country’s economic engine, as it moves into the second phase of slowly reopening its economy.
Toronto, the heart of Canada’s financial industry, and surrounding areas will remain in phase one, as will some regions near the U.S. border and one rural county hit with a large outbreak among farm workers. “I am confident that the rest of the province will get to stage two very, very soon,” Ford said at a press conference on Monday.
