OTTAWA The Ontario government is extending the stay-at-home order for two more weeks, keeping restrictions on interprovincial travel, social gatherings, essential retail and outdoor recreational amenities, including golf courses and tennis courts. We need to do everything in our power to protect this summer for all Ontarians. My goal is to have the most normal July and August possible, said Ford on Thursday. 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. Ford said Ontario needs to maintain the stay-at-home order in all public health units two more weeks to continue to limit COVID-19 transmission.
OTTAWA Ontario is imposing new restrictions on interprovincial travel, outdoor social gatherings, essential retail and outdoor recreational amenities such as golf courses and playgrounds in a bid to limit the spread of COVID-19. Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced urgent actions targeted at stopping the rapid growth in COVID-19 case rates late Friday afternoon. The new restrictions are difficult, but ultimately needed, said Mayor Jim Watson. The mayor added the city will provide more information about the restrictions after staff receive briefings from Ontario government officials. The steep rise in cases and hospitalizations in Ottawa and across Ontario are alarming. We re now in a situation where our hospitals and our medical community are stretched beyond their limits, said Watson Friday evening.
