The Ontario government has made available $300 million in funding for restaurants and other businesses impacted financially by the coronavirus pandemic, Premier Doug Ford said on Tuesday, during a press conference at Mamma Martino’s Restaurant in Etobicoke, Ont. This money is designated to help with fixed costs like property taxes, hydro and natural gas bills, he said.
Ford also urged people to support small restaurant businesses by ordering take out, including calling for third-party food delivery services such as Uber Eats to cut down on their commission fees at this time.
Ontario is reporting 807 new cases of coronavirus for Thanksgiving Monday and 746 cases on Tuesday — totaling 1,553 cases in 48 hours.
The provincial government did not release numbers on Monday due to the holiday and instead released two sets of data on Tuesday. The total cumulative number of cases now stands at 60,692.
