Ontario officials will provide an update Wednesday morning on the latest COVID-19 data, which comes a day after Premier Doug Ford stated that “positive news” regarding the province’s restrictions is coming this week.
Ontario’s Health Minister Christine Elliott and Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore and Ontario Health CEO Matthew Anderson will discuss the data at a news conference at Queen’s Park today.
Earlier this month, Ontario introduced new public health measures in an effort to ease the strain on the province’s health-care system amid a wave of Omicron-fuelled COVID-19 infections.
Those measures included the suspension of indoor dining at restaurants, capacity limits at malls and personal care services, and the closure of gyms and movie theatres.
Those measures are set to expire on Jan. 26 at the earliest, though Premier Doug Ford said his government will announce “some positive news” this week on loosening those restrictions.
