Premier Doug Ford is signalling tougher measures — possibly including a stay-a-home order for parts of the GTA — will be revealed Wednesday as the rapid spread of COVID-19 pushes Ontario to its most dangerous point of the pandemic.
Less than a week after imposing tougher restrictions across the province, and amid criticism from health experts that they weren’t strong enough, Ford acknowledged more must be done to suppress highly contagious variants of the virus, particularly in Toronto, and in Peel and York regions.
“We’re going to have further restrictions moving forward very, very quickly,” the premier told a news conference Tuesday, noting he had discussions with chief medical officer Dr. David Williams over the Easter weekend.
“We’re going to be very clear tomorrow.”
