, The Canadian Press
TORONTO - Ontario will allow some businesses to reopen on May 4.
Premier Doug Ford says today that some businesses that can comply with safety rules that allow staff and customers to maintain physical distancing will be allowed to reopen.
Many of the businesses are seasonal, including garden centres with curbside pick-ups, lawn care and landscaping companies, and automatic car washes.
Ford says auto dealerships can reopen but by appointment only, and marinas and golf courses can prepare to reopen.
The premier says the reopening follows the advice of the province's chief medical officer of health.
Ford says he believes in the near future the province will be able to announce additional businesses can reopen.
