Ontario is rolling out a $10-million ad campaign meant to boost public awareness about COVID-19 and keep residents informed of the latest developments related to the outbreak.
The ads will roll out across print, broadcast and digital platforms starting Saturday.
The office of Premier Doug Ford says the new ads will contain more information than the messages promoting infection prevention techniques that have been airing since January.
It says the latest ads will include advice from public health officials, travel restrictions, and COVID-19 signs and symptoms.

Health authorities in New Brunswick announced a new presumptive case of the virus early Saturday morning, and in Ontario 22 new cases were confirmed bringing the provincial total to 101.
