Canada has quickly moved to take precautionary measures after the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic. There have been more than 560 recorded cases of the virus within the country.
The government has urged Canadians to reassess leaving the country and is warning travellers to return while they still can. As health officials are advising against non-essential travel and asking people to self-isolate, provinces have already shut down schools, businesses and other services to diminish the spread of the virus via social distancing.
Here is a map of which services are open and closed across the provinces, last updated April 5 at 11:00 a.m. ET. A green dot indicates βopen,β a yellow dot βopen with caveatsβ and a red dot indicates βclosed.β
