Ontario extends pause on reopening plan indefinitely as COVID-19 situation worsens
CTV
Ontario is extending its pause indefinitely on moving to the next step of the reopening plan as COVID-19 cases continue to increase.
On Nov. 15, capacity limits were supposed to be lifted in remaining high-risk settings where proof of vaccination is required.
That was delayed at least 28 days on Nov. 10 due to an increase in cases.
On Tuesday, the government announced the pause would continue in order to monitor trends in public health and learn more about the Omicron variant.
No date has been given for when lifting these restrictions will be reassessed.
With the Edmonton Oilers down two goals late in the first period of Game 4, Rogers Place was quiet, fans seemingly bewildered at the early, quick scoring of the Dallas Stars and the slow start by the home team. Ryan McLeod's marker with six-and-a-half minutes in the opening frame left changed all that.
