Announcement could come as early as tomorrow

With COVID-19 case numbers improving, sources say the Ford government is considering exiting Stage 3 of its "Roadmap to Reopen" as early as Monday.

But it's not clear what that means exactly .

On Saturday, the province lifted capacity restrictions for some large venues, including those used for concerts, sports and movies.

But the restaurant industry is still limited to 50 percent capacity and has been demanding a plan to start to increase that number.
