On April 14, 2022, the Ontario Government filed O. Reg 346/22: Revoking Various Regulations,
which, effective April 27, 2022, will revoke almost all remaining
COVID-19-related regulations and orders under
the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19)
Act, 2020.
However, in an effort to manage the current wave of COVID-19,
existing provincial masking requirements in specific public
settings have been extended until June 11, 2022. The Chief Medical
Officer of Health's directives also currently remain in effect
until June 11, 2022.
With the removal of these last restrictions, the Ontario
Government intends to turn to other measures in its efforts to
protect Ontarians and limit hospital visits. These measures include
mask requirements in high-risk settings, reliance on fourth doses
of COVID-19 vaccines, and expanding access to antiviral
treatments.
