January 26th Reopening is No Guarantee

Friday, 14 January 2022 at 05:28

CMOH Dr. Kieran Moore says he can't guarantee the Province will start to reopen on January 26.

Kids will head back to class as planned on Monday, however businesses forced to close still don't have a firm date on when they can reopen. 

When the Ford Government first announced the stage 2 modified lockdown, they were told the earliest pandemic restrictions would ease would be January 26. Ontario's Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore stated on Thursday that he cannot guarantee that start date.

Dr. Moore says they need to keep a close eye on the amount of COVID-19 patients in the hospital and ICU, to determine the plateau and peak of this fifth wave. 

Ontario Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Rocco Rossi says struggling business owners are desperate for some clarity.  

"We implore the government to immediately clarify if Ontario will be moving out of Stage 2 of its Roadmap to Reopen plan so employers, workers and families can plan accordingly." 

Indoor recreation facilities, gyms, museums and movie theatres are closed right now. Restaurants are not allowed to offer indoor dining and these businesses are feeling the pinch after two years of uncertainty and lockdown's.
