The Ontario Government is discussing what new public health restrictions may need to be implemented to counteract the rising number of cases of Covid-19 and the hospitalization numbers.
The Premier spoke at a press conference today saying to not make plans for Easter.
He hinted a lockdown is under consideration to protect ICU capacity as the number of intensive care patients with Covid-19 rises to a level not seen since the 2nd wave in January.
The variants of concern are currently making up 67 percent of all new Covid-19 cases in Ontario and are likely what’s behind the rise in people requiring hospitalization including those involving younger people.
