UPDATE: Stricter Lockdown Measures On the Table in Ontario

Premier Doug Ford says an announcement is on the way tomorrow.

Ford says he will be meeting with his cabinet tonight to discuss the best way to decrease Ontario's COVID-19 numbers. 

Officials with government ties say that there were no recommendations to impose a province-wide curfew. 

The province's latest COVID-19 modelling will also be released tomorrow. 

 

The Premier and his cabinet will meet this afternoon to consider stricter lockdown measures.

Government officials worked through the weekend putting together a package of recommendations for the premier and his ministers to consider as the number of COVID-19 cases continue to climb.

Premier Doug Ford is under increasing pressure to put tougher lockdown measures in place similar to the ones we saw in the spring.

Yesterday, the province posted close to 4,000 new cases of the virus and government sources say numbers are projected to climb to 6,000 a day by the end of the month.
