Ontario lifts mask mandates in most public spaces including schools, retail settings
March 21 marks the end of the provincial mask mandate across Ontario, however there are still a number of businesses and city-run services that will require one.
Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says the current situation with COVID-19 is "unstable," and that the federal government is waiting to see whether there is a resurgence in coming weeks.
International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan says he wants the World Health Organization to greenlight Medicago's COVID-19 shot so it can be donated and used by the COVAX vaccine-sharing alliance. But he says Canada's ability to get more doses out the door to lower-income countries depends mostly on getting reassurance they can and will be used when they are sent. Canada is promising to donate at least 200 million doses by the end of the year but only 15 million have been delivered so far.
