This afternoon, Premier Ford announced that the government is instituting a province-wide, four-week Stay-at-Home order, along with a Provincial Emergency, to begin Thursday, April 8 at 12:01 a.m.

The Stay-at-Home order calls for people to only go out only for essential purposes such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for exercise or essential work.

Big box stores will be limited to selling essential food and pharmacy items, and non-essential retailers must go back to online sales and curbside pickup.

In addition to limiting outings to essential trips, all businesses must ensure that any employee who can work from home, does work from home.

Staff on campus will be limited to only those necessary for the delivery of in-person learning and campus operations.

These measures are in addition to those announced last week. 

Humber is awaiting further details of the Stay-at-Home order, including any new impacts on programming, and vaccination eligibility for education workers and learners who are 18 years of age and older in COVID-19 hot spots. We will share any updates or additional relevant details with the Humber community.
