Restrictions eased; vax passport gone March 1

Ontario will lift the proof of vaccination passport for all settings, as of March 1.

Businesses and other settings may choose to continue to require proof of vaccination. For information, call the Stop the Spread Business Information Line at 1-888-444-3659.

At time of writing, masking requirements remain in place.

New admissions to hospital and ICU have been declining week over week, and positive test rates have fallen, signaling that the Omicron peak is behind us. Over the coming days and weeks, as these trends continue, the province will continue to ease restrictions.
