Toronto, Hamilton and the regions of York, Peel and Halton are currently in the fourth category, the “red zone,” of the province’s five-tier framework meant to guide COVID-19 restrictions. CTV News Toronto has learned that Durham Region and Waterloo may join that list.
According to the province’s framework, regions in the fifth and final “grey” lockdown category could see wide-scale measures and restrictions, including closures, as well as a consideration of a declaration of emergency. CTV News Toronto has confirmed that the province will be doubling the funding available for businesses struggling amid the pandemic to $600 million. This funding applies to property tax and energy cost rebates.
Documents obtained by CTV News Toronto say the money would help support eligible businesses, which are “required to close or significantly restrict services due to enhanced public health measures.” On Friday morning, the Ontario government extended a number of COVID-19 orders until mid-December, which allows the province to implement rules on public gatherings, business closures and manage outbreaks in hospitals or long-term care homes.On Friday, the province surpassed 100,000 total COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began.
If he hadn't opened things too early before we wouldn't be in this mess now. Ford is always too little too late.
🚨PCR is not a test but a D/RNA copying machine. With enough cycles (Ct 30 is nonsense, 35 insane, 45 CORONAtion ot insanity) it finds almost anything in almost anybody.🚨
I actually thought fordnation did a Good job in the beginning.. .... but ontario has seriously dropped the ball in the last month. It's too late to go by region. They have lost the upper hand.
Killing the business
They've been 'considering' it for like a week now, while the body count gets higher. It's obvious fordnation doesn't care about us.
Not enough!!
I think if he were to wear a thick set of eyebrows the public might take him more seriously
What is this exactly? fordnation just teases and promotes pressers and then leaks supposed action to the press to gauge public response to potential measures.
if you lockdown, lock it all, every region.
Considering, warning, bla bla bla. Where’s the action?
Did he try offering $1 beer to fix the problem?
It won't work!
Covid double team! Trudeau and Ford! Trudeau: Doug, get your people in line! 😃
Disappointed lizard facade. You’re steaming my clams look is my fave tho. Just steaming them.
the best way to not get sick is to not wear a mask or put swabs into your nose... no test... no flu-shot... no vaccine... no needles... believe it or not... fighting sickness by injecting it into healthy bodies... is stupid beyond belief... don't do any of it... stay healthy(:~:)
He's going to call them 'timeouts' , sounds nicer, easier to take with your medicine.
Regional approaches would be nice in a perfect world. But people will travel. So unless you lock down the entire province it won’t matter
looks like Ford is considering Big Mac or chicken Mc nuggets for lunch
What a mistake that would be! Why lock things down when you haven’t even tackled the main problem of LTC homes. fordnation is a failure in every way possible. A sad and pathetic human being. Shut down religious gatherings and banquet halls & ’s will drop. Don’t punish the rest
Dear Doug Ford: 1) Give us our sick days back that you took away 2) Spend the money that the Federal Government has gave you to deal with the pandemic instead of just sitting on it 3) Lock it down! Pay people to stay home, and pay businesses to stay closed!
