Premier Doug Ford announced that his government is extending the province-wide stay-at-home order in Ontario until 2nd June in an effort to “protect this summer for all Ontarians.”
Doug Ford confirmed this 2-week extension in province-wide stay-at-home order at a news conference at Queen’s Park on Thursday afternoon.
Ford said, “The situation is slowly trending in a better direction. Make no mistake. We’re not out of the woods yet. Our hospitals are still under immense pressure, the spread of variants remains a major concern. So we must stay vigilant.”
“We must keep doing what we’re doing and what’s working. We need to do everything in our power to protect this summer for all Ontarians. Obviously, that won’t mean large sporting events or concerts. But if we manage the next few weeks properly, I believe that we can have things in a very good place this summer. To do so, we need to keep driving cases down and easing the pressure on our hospitals.”
