Premier Ford considering additional restrictions as COVID-19 cases rise

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is warning that tougher restrictions may be coming to combat the surge in COVID-19 cases in the province. He is also urging people not to gather over the Easter weekend.

Ford did not specify what measures are being considered but says he will consult the province’s top doctor before making a decision.

The Premier says he concerned that people are becoming too relaxed about the pandemic.

Ontario reported 2,336 new cases of COVID-19 today and 14 more deaths.
