TORONTO – Premier Doug Ford is vowing to increase COVID-19 testing after several days of low numbers, while also warning he will re-enact restrictions if the amount of new cases climbs. “We’re watching the trends like a hawk right now,” Ford said Wednesday. “We’re watching the rate of the spread.
We’re watching closely for any sudden surges or flare-ups…. We won’t hesitate to roll things back if necessary.” Ford’s caution came just one day after Ontario officially entered first stage of its reopening plan, with retail stores now allowed to welcome customers inside with certain restrictions in place, and some sports and other activities resuming.
