不包括银行、医院、超市、药房、加油站、邮局等。它们携带着生存所需的物资，无论是长期的还是短期的。相比之下，非必需品是那些人们经常光顾的娱乐场所，如健身房、酒吧、餐馆、电影院、博物馆和音乐厅等。许多非必要的企业是社会互动的中心，这使得冠状病毒刺痛的影响对正在有效地实践社会距离的大众来说更加有害。
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is ordering all non-essential stores and services to close starting Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19.
This comes as public health officials in Ontario confirmed 78 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday morning, raising the province's total to 503.
"This decision was not made lightly, and the gravity of this order does not escape me," said Ford at a news conference on Monday afternoon, adding the order will be in place for at least 14 days.
The list of what constitutes essential and non-essential services and stores will be released Tuesday, but Ford insisted residents will be able to buy food and medicine and other essential products, and that "the power will stay on" and telecommunications tools will continue to run.
"Every Ontarian must do their part. If you can, please stay home, only leave if necessary," Ford said.
The tally also includes the death of a man in his 80s in the City of Kawartha Lakes — marking Ontario's sixth COVID-19-related death — and eight cases that are considered resolved.
At least six of the new cases are hospitalized, including a woman in her 30s, a man in his 40s, two people in their 50s and two people in their 70s.
Some 8,417 people are still awaiting test results, while more than 28,500 tests have been completed. The government says Ontario has 58 dedicated COVID-19 assessment centres running, well up from the 38 Premier Doug Ford said were open just a few days ago.
Two new deaths in the GTA were announced yesterday — a Toronto man in his 70s and a woman from York region who was also in her 70s. Sources told CBC Toronto today that Mayor John Tory is going to declare a local state of emergency this afternoon.
Fresh COVID-19 case numbers are expected from the province again at 5:30 p.m. ET today.
Essential businesses are ones that the public rely on in their day-to-day life. This includes banks, hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations, post offices, and the like. They carry supplies necessary for survival, both in the long and short-term. In contrast, non-essential businesses are those that people frequent for pleasure, like gyms, bars, restaurants, movie theatres, museums, and concert halls, among others. Many non-essential businesses are hubs of social interaction, making the effects of the coronavirus sting all the more detrimental for the masses who are effectively practising social distancing.
