Stay tuned on Ontario’s plan to ease COVID-19 restrictions.
That’s the message from Premier Doug Ford as he was in the Windsor-Essex area Monday to announce funding for a new hospital.
Multiple reports emerged last week that the provincial government was working on a plan to exit Step 3 of the Roadmap To Reopen, which would include ending capacity limits in all locations where proof-of-vaccination requirements are in place.
“We’re going to unveil a plan this week that will stand the test of time moving forward,” remarked Ford. “We never, ever want to shut down this economy again. Everyone from front line health workers and the people of Ontario, I’m very grateful for your efforts and I want to thank you.”
On Friday, the province will officially shift to a QR code proof of vaccination after introducing the vaccine certificate program back on September 1st.
Premier Ford added, “Not everyone carries around their cell phone all the time, I’m talking about elderly parents, so we’re going to make sure that we still have the paper form of the vaccine certificate.”
Step 3 has been in place since the middle of July.
