The OMA said the number of new COVID-19 cases daily, along with the current number of people in hospital, makes it unsafe to lift restrictions at this time.
"We all want the third wave to be the last wave," OMA President Dr. Samantha Hill said in a statement on Wednesday. "No one wants to start lifting restrictions too soon, only to find the virus spreading again and we have to go back into lockdown." The organization said even when Ontario does start to reopen safely, it will take "weeks, and in some cases, months" before case counts start to fall significantly.
"People are tired of restrictions being lifted only to be put in place again a few weeks later," OMA CEO Allan O’Dette said. "It is hard on the economy and hard on people’s livelihoods and mental health."

Was no one not offended when our Premier made reference that we basically all go drinking after golf which is why he can’t allow it? How is he allowed to lead our province and discriminate against me when all I want to do is go golfing and get some fresh air/physical activity?
I need to buy a fcking chair!!
The U.S. is getting vaccinated and is opening up, almost back to normal. What is your third world government doing? LMAO
So I guess we still can't buy pencils or clothes for kids... strangest lock-down ever.
No.
No doctor every recommended the closure of outdoor activities. It's not that hard. Social gathering 5 people outdoors, open up all outdoor amenities. Get everyone outside. When a premier can't relate to any of that because he can only relate to tims sandwiches we have a problem
We all already know this so just make the announcement already and get on with it.
You are kidding, right?
Look at Ford he obviously doesn’t care cause he doesn’t excercise and probably no. Of so called health professionals 😡
🐑 will be 🐑
We should call it something else. We don't want people to stay inside all the time. We don't want people socializing indoors. There is basically zero outdoor transmission from passing contact.
So we know fordnation doesn't listen to the OMA so in other words he will open up in spite of medical advice
Very soon there will be complete chaos as regions reopen without permission. They've been patient as the GTA flounders, but I have a feeling that patience is about to end.
We should not have quadmester next year! fordnation Sflecce tdsb
Why is all Ontario in stay at home orders just deal worth the hot zones for fuck sake let the rest of Ontario live
POS Ford
No time to read. Going to the park with my kid.
Who cares what OMA says or recommends, Doug will do whatever Doug wants to do... meanwhile, businesses... close, open, close, open, close, open, close
Ontario is ready to lift the order, Ford isn't, so maybe he should stay at home and the rest of us can carry on with our lives.
Cottage country is going to be popping off next weekend. Nothing they can do about it. I can’t wait.
Okay fine, whatever - extend the lockdown I see the need for it - but please, please, please let me buy my children shoes and clothes in person. Nothing is fitting and online is too hard for proper sizing at this age.
This ok my son to hockey again this morning. Baseball practise tonight then heading to the cottage tomorrow late aft. Stupid people follow stupid rules. Just because you’re told to do something doesn’t mean you should do it
