After what seems like a lifetime, Ontario is going to move into Step 1 of the provincial reopening plan as of Friday, June 11th at 12:01 a.m.

This will allow patio dining for up to four people per table and limited non-essential retail shopping to resume at 15 per cent capacity.

This also allows for outdoor gatherings and public events of up to 10 (ten) people and religious services, rites and ceremonies, plus weddings and funerals.

Additionally, sports, training, and personal training of up to 10 people are also allowed as of Friday.

Essential retail will be capped at 25% (twenty five) capacity.

“Thanks to the ongoing success of Team Ontario’s vaccine rollout and the ongoing improvements in
public health trends, we can enter step one of the Roadmap and begin to safely and cautiously lift restrictions,” said Premier Doug Ford.

Thanks to those who believe in the vaccine, as of June 6 at 8:00 p.m., 72 per cent of those 18-plus in Ontario had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine .
