CTV
Ontario is considering new COVID-19 restrictions, including banning indoor dining, as the province continues to see record-breaking daily cases.
Sources told CTV News Toronto Sunday that Premier Doug Ford is meeting with his cabinet to discuss possible measures to preserve hospital capacity and keep schools open amid the spread of the Omicron variant.
Among new restrictions being considered include banning indoor dining, lowering indoor (from 10 people to 5 and they should be fully vaccinated) and outdoor gathering limits, and decreasing capacity at essential retail to 50 per cent and 25 per cent for non-essential retail, sources said.
The government, sources said, is also considering putting limits on gyms and personal care services as well as banquet halls and weddings.
In addition, the province is looking into cancelling ticketed events.
