Ontario will impose a province-wide stay-at-home order for up to four weeks, Canadian media reported, citing unidentified people.

The decision would return Canada’s most populous province to lockdown orders last put in place in January, following the Christmas break. Non-essential retail stores will close except for curbside pickup, CBC News reported. Ontario schools will stay open, the Globe and Mail reported, though health officials opted to halt in-person classes in some regions.
