The Ontario government will be releasing “sector-specific” labour guidelines later this week to ensure workplaces can reopen safely when the time comes, Premier Doug Ford says.
Ford made the remarks during a press conference on Tuesday just a day after his government released a general reopening plan for the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. “This framework is the start of the process,” Ford said. “We’ve already seen positive progress on the criteria we laid out and later this week we’ll be releasing the next step in this process — clear, sector-specific labour guidelines for how businesses can operate safely in this new reality.” Ford said “well-defined” guidelines are critical to ensure the economy can reopen safely.
