Ontario is expected to announce a 28-day provincewide “shutdown” Thursday to stop the spread of COVID-19
Ontario reported 2,333 new cases of COVID-19 Wednesday and 15 more deaths linked to the virus.
Those figures follow weeks of rising case counts as more contagious variants of the virus spread across the province.
Ford urged people to be “vigilant” in light of those figures.
“Don’t gather in large groups,” he said. “Follow the protocols of the chief medical officer and we’ll be able to get through this and we’ll be able to get more vaccines into people’s arms.”
final details of the new measures will be worked out Thursday morning
