Coronavirus outbreak: Ford says framework lays out how to reopen Ontario’s economy, not when

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on Monday that the framework being released on how the province will reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic lays out targets it needs to hit in order to do so successfully. He said this involves virus spread and containment, health system capacity, public health system capacity, incident tracking capacity. Ford stressed that the framework is not about when the province reopens but how, and he won’t set “hard dates” on reopening.
