The province says the move will provide an extra layer of protection against the Omicron and BA.2 variants which are driving the current surge and sixth wave of the pandemic in the province.
Minister of Health Christine Elliott says the province has one of the lowest hospitalization rates, “Because of our exceptionally high vaccination rates and Ontario’s cautious approach.”
She also noted that the province has performed well when compared to other similar sized provinces and states, and is encouraging everyone who’s eligible to get boosted as soon as possible.
