Toronto 
Ontario today announced capacity restrictions will not be lifted at the remaining higher-risk settings like food or drink establishments with dance facilities such as night clubs and wedding receptions in meeting/event spaces where there is dancing, strip clubs, sex clubs, and bathhouses.
The province was planning to lift restrictions at these places on November 15th.
The government says the Chief Medical Officer of Health will monitor the data for the next 28 days to determine when it is safe to lift capacity limits in these settings.
“While Ontario has continued to make progress as a result of its safe and cautious approach to reopening, it is necessary to make this deliberate pause as we approach the winter holidays where more people will begin gathering indoors and where students will be returning to in-class learning in January after celebrating with friends and family,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health.
“Over the coming weeks and months, we need to stay the course on reaching those who have not yet been vaccinated, follow public health and workplace safety measures, and continue to remain vigilant in order to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 and keep our communities safe.”
