BURLINGTON, ON
Legislature will meet on Tuesday to get a motion to extend the State of Emergency
Assuming the Provincial Legislature approves the motion the state of emergency, which was set to expire on June 2, will be extended until June 30.
Included under the province’s state of emergency are a number of emergency orders. The emergency orders include restrictions on social gathering limits.
This morning, Premier Ford said his government is “aggressively” working on a plan to continue reopening the economy.
“If numbers go down, we’ll be looking at other stages,” Ford said. “I want to get the economy going but we have to do it safely.”
The province was hoping to make an announcement on allowing larger social gatherings last month but said it was due to an uptick in cases.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Christine Elliott said the province “still needs to go some distance” before moving to stage two of the reopening plan.
“We need to take a careful and measured approached based on four factors: the number of new cases needs to go down, make sure that we have sufficient capacity in our hospitals, make sure we’re doing adequate testing and we need to do contact tracing with public health units.”
