Premier Hints At Possible Lockdown Announcement

The emergency break may be slammed on all of Ontario.

Premier Doug Ford says he won’t hesitate to lock things down.

“Don’t make plans for Easter. That’s what I can tell you. I won’t hesitate to lock things down if we have to. I did it before, I’ll do it again. Nothing’s more important than our health. Economy? Yes, it’s important but that can wait. You can’t have a healthy economy without healthy people.”

Ford stresses, “Extremely concerned on the situation that we’re seeing and the numbers going up. I’m also very concerned about seeing the age group, the younger people, now in ICU’s. Everything is on the table right now. So folks be prepared.

Ford hints he will be out with an announcement in the next couple of days.

He notes we’re almost there, we just have to be vigilant.
