Emergency Orders Extended (Posted Feb. 19, 2021)

Ontario Emergency Orders, which were to expire on February 19^th in force under the Reopening Ontario Act (ROA), have been extended until March 21, 2021.

Orders under the ROA include the Province's ability to implement rules on public gatherings, business closures, and managing outbreaks in hospitals or long-term care homes. This extension does not change the length of how long a region is in lockdown.

The ROA must be extended every 30 days and the government must notify the public on which orders have been extended.
