Ford is expected to announce new province-wide measures aimed at controlling surging COVID-19 cases.

This comes the same day the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table put out new modelling, suggesting a six-week stay-at-home order and more vaccinations is the only way to flatten the COVID-19 curve.
