The Easter long weekend is finally here, albeit with a different tone, as residents are being asked to practice social distancing measures and all non-essential businesses remain closed.

On Friday, April 10, most Ontarians will have the day off, including essential workers at grocery stores and pharmacies, as per orders from Premier Doug Ford.

“We’ve been listening to business owners and employees – the truth is that everyone working in our grocery stores and pharmacies, our truck drivers and those working the line, they have been working day and night for weeks to keep the food and medicine we need on the shelves,” Ford said at his daily news conference on Wednesday afternoon at Queen’s Park.

“One way we are saying ‘thank you,’ is making sure they have this Friday and Sunday off,” said Ford, adding, "let’s give our workers a break that they’ve earned.”

Ford confirmed that stores will be open on Thursday, again on Saturday, and then again on Monday and all days following.

As for the rest of the city, most services will be completely shut down with a few exceptions. Here's what's open and closed on Good Friday in Toronto.
