Ontario cabinet to debate imposing additional COVID-19 restrictions as cases hit new high
COVID-19 variant cases that are putting immense pressure on hospitals.Solicitor General Sylvia Jones would not say what measures the cabinet would consider or if a curfew – similar to the one enforced in Montreal – would be among them.“Premier Ford has said from the very beginning of this pandemic, that all options are on the table,” Jones said. “And that continues to be our philosophy as a cabinet and a caucus.” Ontario reports record-breaking 4,736 new COVID-19 cases as total count surpasses 400,000 Jones, however, acknowledged the challenges a curfew would present in Ontario, pointing to the anti-curfew protests in Quebec.“I think the Montreal riots speak to the challenge of both enforcing, and people’s willingness to do a curfew,” she.
