Emergency information

Provincial status on COVID-19

Update on November 25, 2021

As of September 22, 2021, Ontarians are required to be fully vaccinated (two doses plus 14 days) with proof of vaccination along with photo ID to access certain public settings and facilities.

With public health and health care indicators stable and proof of vaccination now in effect, the government has begun to cautiously ease capacity limits for select indoor and outdoor settings where proof of vaccination is required.

Capacity limits for meeting and event spaces, such as banquet halls and conference/convention centres; sporting events; concerts, theatres and cinemas; racing venues (e.g., horse racing); and commercial and film television productions with studio audiences have been increased to up to 50% capacity or 10,000 people (whichever is less) for indoor events.

For certain outdoor event venues where patrons stand, capacity limits were increased to up to 75% capacity or 15,000 people (whichever is less). For certain outdoor event venues where patrons are seated, capacity limits will be increased to up to 75% capacity or 30,000 people (whichever is less). In addition, proof of vaccination will now be required in outdoor settings where the normal maximum capacity is 20,000 people or more to help keep these venues safe for patrons.

The province remains in Step Three of the Roadmap to Reopen which requires the use of face coverings in indoor public settings and physical distancing.

Orders under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act have been extended until December 15. Orders under the Reopening Ontario Act have been extended until December 16.
