LIVE: Ford, top doc to make announcement after hinting at new COVID-19 restrictions in hot spots

It is possible some health units will be moved into different categories within the province's tiered COVID-19 framework

Premier Doug Ford is slated to make a COVID-19-related announcement at 2:30 p.m. at Queen's Park.

Today's announcement will follow a cabinet meeting with Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams. The meeting comes in the wake of the release of new modelling that suggests the province could see 6,500 new daily cases of COVID-19 by mid-December without new restrictions to spread the virus.

It is possible Ford will move some public health units, such as Toronto and Peel, into different categories within the province's tiered framework for COVID-19.

Ford will be joined by Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, and Dr. David Williams, for today's media conference.

Sudbury.com will carry the livestream, so stay tuned.
