Premier Doug Ford has announced the framework for hospitals as they resume surgeries and other procedures.
He said it will be a gradual resumption of services so as to maintain capacity to respond to COVID-19.
The timelines will vary from hospital to hospital as regional oversight committees are established.
Among the criteria that must be met include a stable number of COVID-19 cases, a stable supply of PPE, medications and an adequate capacity of in patient and intensive care beds.
Emergency surgeries have continued on a per case basis.
