Cineplex says it has temporarily laid off nearly five-thousand part-time employees because of mandated closures of its Ontario movie theatres.
New COVID-19 public health measures announced by Ontario Premier Doug Ford to tackle the surge of the Omicron variant resulted in the closure of 67 Cineplex theatres.
A spokeswoman says Canada's largest movie chain will get its employees back to work as soon as the restrictions are lifted.
The new restrictions also closed indoor concert venues, museums, galleries and other attractions.
Indoor dining is also closed, and restaurants and bars must cease selling alcohol after 10 pm.
