It appears Ontario may be going into another province-wide lockdown.

With rising numbers in new cases, variants of concern, and ICU admissions across the province, Premier Dog Ford and his caucus have been considering various options to help prevent further spread of the virus and ease the pressure on hospitals.

Sources revealed some details last night, including limiting restaurants to curbside and takeout once again, shutting down salons, barbershops, and gyms, and limiting retail capacity.

Schools are expected to remain open next week, but what happens after the re-scheduled March/April Break remains to be seen.

An official news conference will be held later today.
