Guidance for ReOpening
As we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we have put together some supports and guidance for businesses starting to plan for re-opening.
The City of Toronto is preparing to oversee the safe restart of some services and partial reopening of many businesses. Resources have been developed to help support business through this time. For guidance on safely reopening, business operators can reference the Toronto Public Health Planning Guide, and visit the COVID-19: Reopening Guidelines for Businesses & Organizations to view sector specific resources.
Decisions about when and how businesses can begin operating will be made by the Government of Ontario in accordance with its framework to reopen the province after COVID-19.
For more sector specific guidelines the Province of Ontario has compiled some good resources including tip-sheets, cleaning procedures, retail transactions and more. For a full list of guidelines you can visit the Ontario.ca website.
