"As the number of cases have continues to rise, it is evident that despite the tremendous efforts of Ontarians, further action is required to prevent the spread of the virus," Ontario health minister and deputy premier Christine Elliott said in a statement.

"On the advice of Ontario's public health officials, we are moving forward with these measures to help keep Ontarians safe by limiting the potential for exposure in locations where the current risk of transmission is higher, and to avoid future lockdowns."

Ontario will also require businesses and organizations to comply with any advice, recommendations and instructions that have been issued by Ontario's office of the chief medical officer of health on COVID-19 screening, including screening people who are looking to enter their property.

The orders come as Ontario continues to see a high number of COVID-19 cases. On Friday, the province reported 409 new coronavirus cases. In five of the last seven days, the province has reported cases in the 400s.

The Ontario government said private social gatherings are a "significant source" of COVID-19 transmission in many communities across the province, in addition to outbreak clusters at restaurants, bars and other food and drink establishments.

On Tuesday, the government began releasing details of its second wave COVID-19 plan.
