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