I could care less about your right to 'congregate' if you are putting my life at risk by doing so. The reason this is not 'Orwellian' as you suggest, is because there's a very real and legit threat right now. For god's sake, we're confined to our homes - that alone should be shocking enough. If the Ontario Gov. is watching people 'congregate' during regular times, for whatever reason, then this is bad. If they are using said powers to try to extend government reach so they can do nasty things after the threat ha passed, then this is bad. But I doubt both. The action is in the range of proportional and responsible, though I doubt it's having any effect. The next step is that they will require you to have a tracker app on your phone - or an ankle bracelet - merely because you've identified as having COVID-19. Again - scary but legit and proportional, given the situation. It's in these times we come pretty face to face with the results of individual actions with the community. Instead of thinking in classical liberal terms, or even staunch collectivism, just consider what's the appropriate action for people and governments to take, within the context. It's not that hard to consider, and from this more communitarian perspective, our governments are mostly doing the right thing.
