Update:

  • The Ontario government has amended order  O. Reg 364/20 : Rules for Areas in Stage 3 under the  Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 , setting a new limit reducing the number of people permitted to attend unmonitored social gatherings and organized public events in three regions experiencing higher rates of transmission of COVID-19. This functions, parties, dinners, gatherings, BBQs or wedding receptions held in private residences, backyards, parks and other recreational areas.
  • Guidance for Home and Community Care Providers has been updated and is available on the ministry’s website .
