An Ontario-wide lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19 will now take effect on Boxing Day rather than Christmas Eve and will include the closure of most childcare centres for a period of 28 days, multiple sources confirm to CP24 and CTV News Toronto.
Premier Doug Ford is expected to hold a news conference at 1 p.m. to announce the details of the lockdown.
Sources tell CP24 and CTV News Toronto that it will go into effect on Dec. 26 and last for a period of 28 days in southern and eastern Ontario and 14 days in northern Ontario.
