Ontario has launched its COVID-19 vaccine verification app and it is now available for download.
Premier Doug Ford's office confirmed to CTV News Toronto that the app was launched on Thursday ahead of an announcement on Friday.
"This is for businesses and organizations to scan the QR code that will be made available to individuals," Ford's spokesperson Ivana Yelich said. "To ensure the app was available to businesses and organizations in real time tomorrow, the verification app was added to app stores today."
It is not necessary for individuals to download the app.
The Verify Ontario app is available in the Apple app store and Google Play.
The union that represents 9,000 Canada Border Services Agency workers says they won't strike until at least Wednesday, as mediation continues. The Public Service Alliance of Canada initially said border workers were set to strike as early as 4 p.m. Friday if they hadn't reached a deal, but have decided to extend negotiations.
