During a live news conference Thursday, Premier Doug Ford says “we made a mistake. We got it wrong. For that I am sorry and I apologize.” The premier is referring to his decision to close playgrounds and increase police powers, decisions his government reversed 24 hours later. Ford also confirms that Ontario will have its own provincial paid sick leave program. But no details yet. "We are now working on our own solution."

Ford appears to choke back tears as he discussed the pain of families being unable to be with loved ones in their final moments due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The government announced the new restrictions amid soaring cases and an alarming rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations. "I will always try to do what's right," Ford said. "If we get something wrong, we'll fix it."
