“Thanks to the ongoing success of Team Ontario’s vaccine rollout and the ongoing improvements in
public health trends, we can enter step one of the Roadmap and begin to safely and cautiously lift restrictions,” said Premier Doug Ford.
Thanks to those who believe in the vaccine, as of June 6 at 8:00 p.m., 72 per cent of those 18-plus in Ontario had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine .
