Premier Ford announced Monday that the province will drop its proof of vaccination requirements for all settings as of March 1, if public health and health system indicators continue to improve. Masking will remain in place, but a timeline for lifting that measure will be announced at a later date. He also announced the province would be lifting more measures first on Feb. 17, including increasing social gathering limits to 50 indoors and 100 outdoors, removing capacity limits where proof of vaccination is required on restaurants, bars, cinemas, casinos and other indoor venues. They will also expand capacity for sports arenas and concert venues to 50 percent. As Mr Ford spoke, Denmark entered its second week of absolutely no restrictions. As heard in the report above, it has to do with how the country understands the nature of Omicron.
