Premier Doug Ford announced Wednesday that Ontario will enter a state of emergency for the third time, and the entire province will be put under stay-at-home order for four weeks starting Thursday in the government’s effort to stem the spread of COVID-19, the disease the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus causes.

The stay-at-home order will go into effect on April 8 at 12:01 a.m.
