Shutdown vs Lockdown: What's the difference???

Ontario has created a new category of COVID19 restrictions called "Shutdown" ontario.ca/page/enhancing…

But how different is it really from "Lockdown"?
covid-19.ontario.ca/zones-and-rest…

Short answer ... not a lot #COVID19Ontario

Retail stores...

Shutdown: essential retail open, 50% of max capacity; non-essential retail open, 25% of max capacity

Lockdown: exactly the same

#COVID19Ontario

Restaurants....

Lockdown: indoor dining prohibited, patio dining allowed

Shutdown: indoor dining and patio dining prohibited

#COVID19Ontario

Sports and recreation...

Lockdown: Golf courses open

Shutdown: Golf courses closed

(My sources told me last night golf courses would be open under the new restrictions, so there's that.)

Gatherings:

Lockdown: indoor gatherings banned, outdoor limited to 10 people.

Shutdown: indoor gatherings banned, outdoor limited to 5 people.

Religious, wedding and funeral services:

Lockdown: services are allowed indoors, limited to 15% capacity of the room, outdoors with two metres physical distance

Shutdown: exactly the same

Okay, but does shutdown mean the same as stay at home order?

Doesn't look like it.

Basically the same wording here

Lockdown: "Only go out for essential reasons"

Shutdown: "You should only go out for necessities"

#COVID19Ontario

To sum up, the more restrictive measures in Shutdown vs. Lockdown (that I can find) are all about *outdoor* space:
»patio dining closed
»golf courses closed
»outdoor gatherings limit of 5 instead of 10.

Here's the current regulation that gives the legal wording of the differences between Ontario's lockdown and shutdown, so there may be some nitty gritty things I missed, buried in here. #COVID19Ontario

Premier Doug Ford is to reveal the full plan at 1:30 p.m. A government source tells me things are still "very fluid." #COVID19Ontario
