Ontario considers cutting gathering sizes, capacity limits to slow spread of Omicron, sources say

The Ontario government is considering reducing gathering sizes, cutting capacity limits and changing the definition of fully vaccinated to include three doses as COVID-19 cases soar in the province, sources say.

Premier Doug Ford is set to meet with his cabinet on Friday afternoon to discuss the potential new measures. 

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.
