In recent days, several Canadian provinces have announced plans to slowly re-open businesses that were closed at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
British Columbia premier John Horgan announced Wednesday that restrictions will slowly start to lift in mid-May, beginning with small gatherings and elective surgeries, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford is allowing garden centres and hardware stores to re-open to the public on May 8.
Meanwhile, stores in Quebec — the province that accounts for roughly half of Canada’s infections — were allowed to gradually reopen on Monday, and construction and manufacturing companies have been given the green light to do the same on May 11.
