Reopening Ontario
Overview
The Roadmap to Reopen is a three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province and gradually lift public health measures.
The plan is based on:
- the provincewide vaccination rate
- improvements in key public health and health care indicators
In Step Three of the roadmap, we must all continue to follow the public health measures, advice and restrictions.
Guiding principles
Step One: An initial focus on resuming outdoor activities with smaller crowds where the risk of transmission is lower, and permitting limited indoor settings with restrictions.
Step Two: Further expanding outdoor activities and resuming limited indoor services with small numbers of people and with face coverings being worn.
Step Three: Expanding access to indoor settings, with restrictions, including where there are larger numbers of people and where face coverings can’t always be worn.
Moving through the steps
If the province has met the following vaccination thresholds, and there are continued improvements in other key public health and health system indicators, the province may move to the next step of the roadmap:
- Step One: 60% of adults vaccinated with one dose
- Step Two: 70% of adults vaccinated with one dose and 20% vaccinated with two doses
- Step Three: 70 to 80% of adults vaccinated with one dose and 25% vaccinated with two doses
The province will remain in Step Three for at least 21 days and until 80% of the eligible population aged 12 and over has received one dose of a COVID-19covid 19 vaccine, and 75% have received their second, with no public health unit having less than 70% of their eligible population aged 12 and over fully vaccinated.
Other key public health and health care indicators must also continue to remain stable. Upon meeting these thresholds, the vast majority of public health and workplace safety measures will be lifted.
