Ford said “early next week” the province will announce a plan to move to Stage 2, which calls for select office towers reopening for work, as well as allowing gatherings of more than five people.
Ford added that he will “also lay out a phased plan for reopening childcare safely and gradually, so we can support parents as they return to work” sometime next week. He stressed that announcing the plans does not mean that either will get underway immediately, as he is still closely watching the daily COVID-19 case growth in Ontario,Ontario entered the first stage of reopening last month, with individual sports, select retailers and other businesses allowed to resume.
The province’s COVID-19 case growth then started to rebound, prompting officials to hold off on even discussing Stage 2. Ford and his ministers would not say if hair and nail salons would re-open as part of Stage 2, and he rejected entirely the notion that the re-opening process is moving too slowly.Ontario is the only full province in Canada still banning hair salons and barber shops from operating.
It’s hilarious all you people think this matter, don’t you watch new no one cares about anything but protests since Monday. Covid is dead so back to your normal lives. I ask you as a person is no by means a racist where are “black lives matter “ when you are shooting ur own!
Is he an idiot ?
Fuck when ARE hair salons going to reopen? It's been way too long already. If hair salons are going to be closed for the entire summer then I might as well shave my head. Its getting a little ridiculous
That's insane!!!! Plans should be closing earlier and completley close everything weekends !!!! new cases rising and this is stage two !!!!
.......everyone just say you are hosting a protest and open up your businesses.
Barbers?
But most cases r in migrant workers. Start regional openings pls.
Enough with the stages....COVID just ended today for Toronto officially
I would be interested in how this is going to work. I hope he is consulting with childcare experts and parents.
'He is a LEADER' fordnation direct quote. marksaunderstps JohnTory I guess social distancing isn't an issue anymore. People get fined $750 to look at a cherry blossom. These people are exempt to the law? Guess Toronto is open for business.
So he came on tv to announce an announcement? I'm so over this nonsense!!
What about hair and nail salons?
I work in a childcare centre and WITHOUT covid we always struggled with sicknesses going around. I am absolutely terrified to go back to work because I have a baby at home and two other kids that I don’t want to put at risk. And I work in a room with 3, 4 and 5 year olds😭😷🤒
You ever work in a childcare centre? Germs spread like wildfire. If schools aren't reopening why are the childcare centres? Many of them are in schools
Coming next week? This isn't a f'n reality show. If you have an announcement, make it right now.
ON or QC is not ready to open anything.
Not Toronto!! We are not there yet, other parts of Canada fine.
No need for stage 2. Just open it up already.
It's just wrong
People in these comments be like
Doug Ford says he is moving cautiously based on 'science' from health officials to open the city yet there are thousands of protesters hitting the streets disregarding social distancing and mask wearing. Open The City Now! Stop government hypocrisy.
Bout time. I want to run a baseball practice, it will be safe though imma just throw a few protestors in the dugout to make it legit!!
