CAEM Update – February 14, 2022 – Ontario Speeds Up Reopening Plans

 

With key public health and health system indicators continuing to improve, the Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, is cautiously and gradually easing public health measures sooner than planned, with the next phase of measures being eased on February 17, 2022 at 12:01 a.m.

Effective February 17, 2022:

  • Removing capacity limits in indoor public settings where proof of vaccination is required.  This includes meeting and event spaces, as well as conference centres and convention centres.

Effective March 1, 2022

  • Ontario intends to take additional steps to ease public health measures if public health and health system indicators continue to improve. This includes lifting capacity limits in all remaining indoor public settings.
  • Ontario will also lift proof of vaccination requirements for all settings effective March 1, 2022. Businesses and other settings may choose to continue to require proof of vaccination.
  • Masking requirements will remain in place at this time, with a specific timeline to lift this measure to be communicated at a later date.

The press release is available here.  As more details become available we will keep you updated.
