COVID-19 hot spots Saturday as Ontario’s new tiered system takes effect.The colour-coded system — which classifies each public health unit as a red, orange, yellow or green zone based on caseload and transmission levels — came into force at midnight, as previous measures imposed on a handful of hot spots were set to expire.Only Peel Region, which has seen rising cases in recent weeks, was deemed a red zone, while other hot spots such as York Region and Ottawa were labelled as orange.
Decision to ease some restrictions in Peel Region ‘reckless,’ Ontario Hospital Association says Regions in the red category have, among other things, indoor restaurant dining limited to 10 people and gyms limited to 10 people indoors.The orange level limits.
