Health Minister Christine Eliot said Sunday that there was no need to re-impose restrictions due to rising COVID-19 rates.
“We will watch it closely, but we feel confident with the ability (healthcare) we have and the vaccinations that we are in a good place.”
Ontario delivered 9,003 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday.
