Ford Sticking To Guns On Reopening Province

The provincial government still has no plans to reopen areas, like northern Ontario, early because they are experiencing low COVID-19 numbers.

Premier Doug Ford says he knows that people are getting frustrated and he knows the situation is different in various regions.

“I fully understand. I hear it at Cabinet. I hear it at Caucus. I hear it all the time from our own members. But I know the Minister of Health is doing a great job and so is Dr. Williams and I’m sure they will come up with a solution to keep everyone in the family happy per se.”

Ford says “I have to follow signs and the medical advice. I always have, I always will. I’ll take their advice and if Dr. Williams doesn’t think it’s the right thing to do than I am following his advice. I have from the beginning and I will continue to follow it.”

Ford stresses he doesn’t want to see a spike in numbers and having to go back to square one.
