Good morning, Ontario! Because of all the progress we’ve made, businesses are now at full capacity. At the advice of Dr. Moore, proof of vaccination is no longer required but some businesses may choose to continue to ask for it. We’ve come so far. Please be kind, safe & cautious.

Friends, we are on track to remove almost all restrictions very soon for businesses as part of our reopening plan, including vaccine passports.
This is great news and a sign of just how far we've come together in this fight.
Let’s keep it up, Ontario! pic.twitter.com/JbnryxoET8
