Premier Doug Ford says Ontarians can expect an announcement tomorrow about possible new restrictions.
As the province faces a surge in COVID-19 cases, the Premier is urging people to celebrate Easter from the comfort of their own home this weekend.
“I'm very concerned to see the ICU capacity and we all have to be vigilant, and through the holidays over the next few days I'm just asking people don't gather in large groups, don't have big, big gatherings, follow the protocols of the Chief Medical Officer and we'll be able to get through this.”
Ford also says his government is considering "all options" in order to prevent a third wave of the virus.
A report from Critical Care Services Ontario indicates the province currently has 421 COVID-19 patients in intensive care units, which is a higher amount than at any other point in the pandemic.
