Premier Doug Ford will make an announcement at 3:30 p.m. with Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore after holding a meeting with his cabinet to discuss the new restrictions. 

Sources say Ontario is considering cutting indoor gathering limits down to 10 people from 25. 

Capacity limits could also be cut down to 25 per cent in some sectors, sources say. 

Sources told CTV News Toronto the Ford government doesn't want to give the impression that potential new restrictions means the province is going into lockdown.
