Doug Ford says Ontario could enter COVID-19 reopening plan before June 14, but only if doctors sign off
Doug Ford says Ontario could enter the first step of the provincial COVID-19 reopening plan earlier than the original goal, but insisted that it will ultimately come down to a recommendation from the chief medical officer of health.“I’m so hopeful that as things are going, we may be able to enter Step 1 safely earlier than June 14,” Ford told reporters at Queen’s Park Wednesday afternoon.“As we see the numbers come down, and they’re dropping rapidly, we put forward to Dr. (David) Williams and the medical team that option of opening up earlier based on a cautious approach, based on the numbers coming down.
