Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu is encouraging Canadians to bunker down for the long haul, when it comes to social distancing. She says public health measures will last more than days, and they could last for months. This means we should get used to the restrictions.

"When people are playing loose and hard with the rules like this, it actually does put our civil liberties at jeopardy. It makes governments have to look at more and more stringent measures to actually contain people in their own homes. So, actually, our freedoms around the measures we are taking right depend on people taking them seriously, because politicians and governments will be pushed to a place to take more and more stringent measures when people violate them and don't take them seriously. So, I would encourage Canadians to think about that and to think about their obligation to act collectively right now. Right now is your chance," said Hajdu.

Late Friday, the OPP added fines for those not following the directions laid out by public health. Fines for individuals start at $750, while companies can face fines of up to $500,000.
