Roadmap to Reopen: Step 3
Dear friends and neighbours,
Effective Friday, July 16 at 12:01 AM, the provincial government has announced that Ontario will be moving to Step Three of the Roadmap to Reopen.
The criteria for Ontario to enter Step Three is: 70 to 80 percent of individuals 18+ with one dose and 25 percent with two doses for at least two weeks. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Ontario’s health care partners, over 77 percent of the population in Ontario aged 12+ have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and over 50 percent have received their second dose.
What's New in Step Three:
Outdoor Events
Outdoor social gatherings and events for up to 100 people
Zoos and amusement parks with limited capacity
Fairs, rural exhibitions, festivals, and cultural attractions
Concerts, theatres, and other performing arts venues
Indoor Events
Indoor social gatherings and events for up to 25 people
Indoor dining with no limits to the number of patrons per table
Museums, casinos, and bingo halls with limited capacity
Cinemas, theatres, and other performing arts venues
I suspect many of you, like myself, are eager to take advantage of the expanded businesses and services that are soon to open. To learn more about what is reopening in Step Three, please click the "Learn More" button below.
Sincerely,
