TORONTO -- The Ontario government is implementing a province-wide lockdown by the end of December, but the length of time each region will be under the new restrictions will vary.
The lockdown will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 26 and will last for 28 days in the southern portions of the province and 14 days in the northern parts.
The province-wide lockdown will look similar to the shutdown back in March, with only essential businesses allowed to remain open.
