Toronto and Peel had asked the province to keep strict measures in place.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks following a photo op at a construction site in Toronto on Thursday.

The decision followed calls from Toronto and Peel to keep strict measures in place to prevent more illness and death. “These are difficult but necessary decisions, in order to protect against COVID-19 variants and maintain the progress we have all made together,” Health Minister Christine Elliott said in a statement.The government said case rates are still too high in Toronto and Peel, and variants spreading in the North Bay, Ont., area meant that region also needed to remain under the stay-home order in order to preserve health-system capacity.
