Eastern Ontario Office Of Health Says We Should Stick To The Plan

Eastern Ontario’s medical officer of health wants the Ontario government to stick to the three-week timeline in the roadmap to reopen plan before easing more restrictions, to allow more time for people to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Step one of the reopening plan began June 11, Step 2 is scheduled to begin on July 2.

Worried about the Delta variant, Dr. Paul Roumeliotis said waiting the full 21 days before moving to Step 2 would allow the province to get the vaccination numbers up.

To enter Step 2 under the reopening plan, 70 per cent of adults need to be vaccinated with one dose and 20 per cent vaccinated with two doses.
