The Ontario Government announced clarifications this afternoon in terms of the specifics of the areas of the province that are moving back into the Protection Framework on February 16th.

Huron Perth will move into the Orange Restrict Level and Wellington Dufferin Guelph will move to the Red Control level.

After returning to the Framework the regions will stay in their level for at least 2 weeks.

Visitor restrictions to places such as long term care homes will once again apply to those regions that are in Orange level or higher.

Even with the removal of the Stay-at-Home order for the Province the Premier is urging residents against having those outside your immediate home over, only leaving the home for essential trips and adhering to all public health measures.

The emergency brake provision is available to any region should transmissions increase to the level that a lockdown is again needed.
