TORONTO — Ontarians will not be allowed to dine in bars and restaurants, gather in groups larger than five or use playground equipment until at least mid-June.
The provincial government says it is extending its COVID-19 emergency orders until June 9.

They were last extended on May 19 and were set to expire May 29.

The orders include the closure of child care centres, libraries except for pick-up and delivery, theatres, and bars and restaurants except to provide take-out or delivery.

It also means that Ontarians looking to beat the heat at public pools and splash pads are out of luck until at least June 9.

Ontario has been in a state of emergency since March 17, and it was last extended until June 2.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said the orders were last extended on May 12 until June 2. In fact, that is the extension date for the state of emergency.
