Province to Lift Mask Mandates Mar. 21, 2022,
All Other Public Health Restrictions, Apr. 27
  • With continued improvement in trends, Ontario announced it will remove the mandatory masking requirements for most settings on March 21 (with the exception of public transit, health care and long term/congregate care settings).

  • All other regulatory requirements for businesses - including passive screening and safety plans - will also be lifted on March 21 (but should remain in place until then).

  • This follows the March 1st lifting of capacity limits for indoor settings and proof of vaccination requirements and means the majority of public health and safety measures have now been lifted.

  • Ontario's Re-opening Act (ROA) will expire on March 28.

  • All other remaining directives and orders will end on April 27.
