Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced new measures Friday, including restrictions on playgrounds, sports, big retail stores and places of worship, as the third wave of COVID-19 continues to grip province.
“We’re losing the battle,” Ford said.
Ford announced increases in the supply of vaccines to hot zones by 25 per cent with new travel limitations to Manitoba and Quebec, and checkpoints at these borders.
In addition, beginning midnight, police officers and First Nations constables will be able to stop those outside their homes and question why those individuals are not at their residences, said Solicitor General Sylvia Jones.
