On August 17, 2021, Chief Medical Officer of Health Kieran Moore said that vaccination rates saw a “sudden drop-off” in the last few weeks. He also explained that the Delta variant accounts for more than 90% of detected virus samples in Ontario. Hospitalizations and transmissions are on the rise. At the moment, the province has administered at least a single dose to eligible people twelve years and above.<\/p>\n
This is why Ontario has stayed in Step 3 of its reopening plan. It involves the enforcement of physical distancing rules and mandatory masking indoors. There is a cap of 100 people at outdoor public events and social gatherings, while the limit stands at 25 people for indoor gatherings. Restaurants, museums, and other sectors also have capacity rules.<\/p>\n
Canada plans to move into Step 4 of the reopening plan on September 7 at the earliest. The borders will fully reopen to fully vaccinated foreigners on this day. This is going to come into effect “provided that Canada’s COVID-19 epidemiology remains unfavorable.” This means that the schedule might still change depending on new developments.
