The ongoing spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 throughout Ontario has fueled a resurgence of cases across the province over approximately the last three weeks. Health Canada and Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health have indicated that a fourth wave of the virus is asserting itself. In response to these developments Ontario health officials two weeks ago released new guidance speaking to testing and self-isolation for those that may have been exposed to COVID-19 and new rules for people based on vaccination status.

With key public health and health care indicators continuing to improve, the provincewide vaccination rate now surpassing the targets outlined in the province’s Roadmap to Reopen, and on the recommendation of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Ontario government is moving the province into Step Two of its Roadmap to Reopen at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, June 30, 2021.
