A shadow consortium of about 100 restaurants planning to re-open illegally in defiance of the covid lockdowns
As many as 100 restaurants are said to be considering a mass reopening in defiance of provincial regulations.
Unlike Adamson’s, sources say these restaurants would follow all other public health measures — such as masking, social distancing and reduced capacity — but open their doors in an attempt to survive. Like retailers, restaurants are at their busiest time in November and December but have been closed for indoor dining throughout Toronto and Peel since Oct. 9. Patio dining was forbidden two weeks ago.
Cases have not gone down since the closure of businesses resumed two months ago. In fact, they have only gone up. Industry insiders say companies big and small will be going out of business without the chance to reopen or receive adequate support.
