Recently the Government of Ontario announced that they are planning to gradually move Ontario’s public health units back to a colour-coded reopening framework. The emergency stay-at-home orders lifted for several public health units as of Tuesday, February 16th, except for the Toronto, Peel and York regions. Toronto will continue under the stay-at-home order until Feb. 22, and will most likely be placed in the Grey (Lockdown) zone after that. As we look ahead, we wanted to keep you updated and informed on our plans.

 

Colour-Coded Reopening Framework

Using Ontario’s colour-coded reopening framework, we have made preparations for every zone we may potentially enter. The five zones under the COVID-19 response framework are Green (Prevent), Yellow (Protect), Orange (Restrict), Red (Control), and Grey (Lockdown). In creating this plan, we have kept your health and safety as the number one priority and will continue to do so as the circumstances change.

Learn more about how we are prioritizing your health and safety here.
