The Ontario government has extended its COVID-19 vaccine passport program beyond Jan. 17, 2022, the original scheduled date to start phasing out the restrictions, while introducing stricter public health measures for verifying medical exemptions.
Announced by Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott and Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, the new measures come ahead of the winter season during which COVID-19 infection cases and related variants are expected to increase.
