Ontario limits social gatherings across the province after ‘alarming growth’ of COVID-19

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Ontario is restricting social gatherings and parties across the province as Premier Doug Ford warned of an “alarming growth” in new COVID-19 cases.

The new limits are 10 people inside and 25 people outside, a change from the previous limit of 50 people inside and 100 outside. They are in effect for at least 28 days. The Premier was also asked why the new rules don’t apply to classrooms, which he has previously said is an “apples to oranges” comparison. Ontario’s opposition parties have repeatedly criticized the government for not capping classes at 15 students.

NDP Deputy leader Sara Singh said the government’s announcement is inconsistent and doesn’t go far enough, repeating her party’s demand to cap class sizes at 15 students. She also called for a massive ramp up in testing and a plan for long-term care homes.“The Ford government was not prepared for this spike in cases, and they should have been. They’ve been chasing crisis after crisis instead of being ready,” she said in a statement.

She said she didn’t have specific data on cases coming from social gatherings, but the province is seeing an increase in gatherings as a cause in an “increasing portion of cases.” She noted that social gatherings outside of a person’s social circle still have to take place with physical distancing and masking measures in place.

ExceptInSchool because children are expendable to Conservative lead governments ..

Maybe Ford should have developed a better testing strategy, other than waiting to funnel government money to corporate sponsors. Like BC did, not Alberta.

Please, more of these radical actions to fight climate change under the guise of a pandemic response. The planet depends on it. 🌊🏳️‍🌈🇺🇳🌎

It's a virus. Viruses spread. What happened to we just want to flatten the curve? Friggin' 7 months ago?

And the magic spell protecting classrooms is....?

Enforcement, please. Time for warnings has passed!

That raises few questions about children attending classes, what about the numbers inside the classroom

Doing so while still allowing schools to remain open sends mixed messages. Pick a lane fordnation and stay in it There is far more than enough confusion already.

Whoop-dee-doo! How about a roll back to phase 2?

I guess the masks don't work
