Ontario to allow high-contact sports, more music extracurriculars in schools “None of them are expected to remain in play longer than they need to be and/or have a benefit to protect Ontarians.

So we are reviewing all of them in the coming days and anticipate we will make recommendations to government as soon as next week.”Moore said there will be “greater clarity” for Ontarians regarding the processes that will be put into place and the timelines for the removal of “all public health measures.”He said it will be done in a “graded, cautious manner, which has been the cornerstone of Ontario’s approach.”A current government timeline for lifting public health measures shows most being lifted by March 14.

A timeline to lift some measures, including masking and proof of vaccination, has not yet been provided, however.Under a previous plan released in the fall, the government intended to lift masking and the proof of vaccination system by the end of March.
