Ford Sticking To Guns On Reopening Province

Ontario Premier Doug Ford



The provincial government still has no plans to reopen areas, like northern Ontario, early because they are experiencing low COVID-19 numbers.

Premier Doug Ford says he knows that people are getting frustrated and he knows the situation is different in various regions.

“I fully understand. I hear it at Cabinet. I hear it at Caucus. I hear it all the time from our own members. But I know the Minister of Health is doing a great job and so is Dr. Williams and I’m sure they will come up with a solution to keep everyone in the family happy per se.”

Ford says “I have to follow signs and the medical advice. I always have, I always will. I’ll take their advice and if Dr. Williams doesn’t think it’s the right thing to do than I am following his advice. I have from the beginning and I will continue to follow it.”

Ford stresses he doesn’t want to see a spike in numbers and having to go back to square one.
