Doug Ford said the province isn’t “far away” from lifting its mask mandate.Ford made the comment at an unrelated press conference Monday morning in response to a question from a reporter about the status of masking requirements in the province.“Right from the get-go, I’m listening to the chief medical officer,” Ford said.

Mask mandate will likely be lifted in schools when it is removed for wider public: Ontario top doc “It’s his advice when they’re going to come off and we’ll wait for his advice and recommendations and once he gives the recommendations, we’ll be able to move forward.”Ford hinted that the province’s masking requirements could be lifted in the third week of March.“What I’m hearing: over the next few weeks, maybe after March break when the kids get back, but we’ll see.

I don’t want to set a date,” he said.“There’s no secret — there isn’t a person I talk to (who) likes these masks. No one likes them.

But I’m going to follow the advice and we aren’t far away.”Last week, Ontario chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore said masking requirements will likely be lifted for schools when they are removed for most public spaces.

TikTok reportedly testing ‘watch history’ feature so users can recover lost videos

Tech Crunch. "We’re always thinking about new ways to bring value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience," a company spokesperson told Tech Crunch. Matt Navarra, a social media consultant, retweeted images from Hammond Oh, an influencer who often reveals new or test features on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, showing the "watch history" option. Oh then tweeted a subsequent image showing that users would be able to revisit past videos for up to seven days. The company did not say whether or not they planned to expand testing or how long they would do so before rolling out the feature to all users, Tech Crunch reported. TikTok’s newest test feature comes as many users have tried overly complicated workarounds to find that video they accidentally lost before liking it or seeing the creator’s handle. TikTok user "rachforaday" posted a video in January that showed users a step-by-step workaround on how to recover a lost video. Users can open up the TikTok app and then go to the bottom and click on the "discover" icon. From there, click into the top search bar and type an asterisk (*). Click search.

Ontario will lift mask mandates by end of March if COVID-19 keeps declining, top doctor says

Ontario’s chief medical officer of health says mask mandates will be removed by the end of March as long as positive public health trends continue.Dr. Kieran Moore says the province can “only mandate masking for so long,” with the risk from COVID-19 decreasing.He says Ontario has a very high vaccination rate, hospitalizations have been declining, and he believes the worst is behind us.However, he says that due to limited access to PCR testing, the true number of daily new COVID-19 cases can be estimated by multiplying the number of positive tests by 10, meaning there could be more than 22,000 new cases today.

Mask mandate will likely be lifted in schools when it is removed for wider public: Ontario top doc

Ontario’s mask mandate will likely be lifted in schools when it is removed for most public spaces, the province’s top doctor says.Dr. Kieran Moore made the comment during his weekly COVID-19 update Thursday, but noted that masking requirements will remain in place “for the time being.”“Making does remain an important tool in our tool box and even when it’s no longer required in public settings, it will continue to be an effective tool for reducing transmission and protecting those recovering from illness, their close contacts, and those who may be more vulnerable to severe COVID-19 infection,” Moore said.“Some in our communities may also choose to continue wearing them regularly and we need to be respectful of individual choices once masking is no longer required.” Ontario mask mandate will likely be reviewed in March, top doctor says Moore was asked by a reporter whether all masking requirements would be removed at the same time, or if it would be phased and if so, where schools stood on that list.“The consultations have started and we will be working with school boards, with parents, with the ministries and make a decision together,” he said.
