يبدو أن تطبيق حظر التجول باتت تفصلة خطوة واحدة وربما يكون العائق الوحيد فى تطبيقة، هو إتاحة الفرصة للناس للحصول علي المواد الغذائية والسلع الطبية الملحة، وهذا هو السبب الذي أدي المقاطعة لا تتخذ إجراء حظر التجول بعد.

وقال دوج فورد رئيس وزراء أونتاريو اليوم في مؤتمره الصحفي اليوم الذي يعقده من أمام مقر برلمان أونتاريو يوميا.

أنه تبعا لتعليمات مسؤلي الصحة فقد قررنا تخفيض أنواع العمل التي كان مسموح لها بالعمل،هي خطوة مهمة لنتفادي تفشي وباء كورونا في المقاطعة.

وقال أن هذه الإحراءات سوف تطبق بداية من يوم السبت الرابع من أبريل الساعة ١١:٥٩ مساءا ” اي مع بداية يوم ٥ أبريل”، وقال فورد أنه كان قرار صعب عليه جدا أن يتخذ هذا القرار ولكن حياة الناس هي أهم شئ وهو الأولوية الأن وقبل كل شئ.

“We are facing a critical moment in the fight against COVID-19 and we must do everything in our power to keep everyone safe and healthy and prevent our health care system from being overwhelmed,” said Premier Ford. “Everyone must do their part to stop the spread and flatten the curve. If you are not an essential business, you need to close your doors, work from home if possible and play a role to help contain this outbreak. This is a matter of life and death.”

As a temporary measure the Ontario government has revised the list of essential businesses. The updated list will direct additional businesses to close and restricts specified businesses to providing services by alternate methods such as curb side pick up and delivery, except in exceptional circumstances. This includes stores that sell hardware products, vehicle parts and supplies, pet and animal supplies, office supplies and computer products and repairs and safety supplies.

“We have now reached a critical time in our fight against COVID-19.” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health “Every step taken by the province and every effort made by each of us to avoid close contact with others are the key to our success as a province to stop the spread of this virus.”

Only critical construction projects will continue, including industrial projects such as refineries and petrochemical plants and infrastructure projects such as new hospitals, roads and bridges. New starts in residential projects will stop, while residential construction that is near completion will continue. Business-owners with questions concerning their essential business status are encouraged to call the Stop the Spread hotline at 1-888-444-3659. The hotline is available from 8:30 a.m.― 9:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8:30 a.m.— 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“We recognize the toll this outbreak is taking on business owners and workers,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “Ontario businesses are top of mind during this unprecedented time. We know that the only way to ensure the health of our businesses and our economy is to ensure the health of all Ontarians.”

The government is implementing additional measures to protect frontline workers in essential businesses by adding more than 60 special consultants and officers and doubling the number of phone agents at its Health and Safety Call Centre to 50 to make it easier for workers to report safety concerns. Workers worried their workplaces are unsafe can phone 1-877-202-0008 to speak with an agent.

“If you’re a worker on the frontlines of this outbreak, you should know we’re doing everything in our power to keep you safe at work,” said Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development. “We’re beefing up our inspectors and making it easier for you to report your concerns. We’re working around the clock.”
