Ontario's COVID-19 Response: The Latest Developments

As Ontario works through the COVID-19 pandemic, the provincial government regularly issues and adjusts restrictions on commercial activity in response to the latest developments. This post, which will be updated regularly as changes occur, contains updates on the province's latest responses to the crisis, focusing on those aspects that are most relevant to business operations in the province.

The latest update discusses the Government of Ontario's September 1, 2021 announcement about the implementation of a proof of vaccination requirement, under which so-called "vaccine passports" will have to be produced by anyone entering certain publicly accessible establishments. Note that, as of September 1, 2021, Ontario remains at Step 3 of its Roadmap to Reopen plan. The final step, in which all restrictions would be removed, has been paused due to the Delta variant.
