Premier To Give COVID Update This Afternoon

Doug Ford has a 2:00 news conference scheduled

He will be joined by Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Kaleed Rasheed, Associate Minister of Digital Government, and Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health, to announce Ontario’s plan to safely reopen and manage COVID-19 for the long term.

According to a senior government source, the Premier will announce the end to capacity limits on restaurants, bars and gyms 

The source says the move, which will go into effect on Monday, has been approved by Doug Ford’s cabinet. 

The source adds the Premier and his ministers made the decision after Dr. Moore said he was satisfied the Thanksgiving long weekend had not resulted in a surge in COVID cases
