Ontario Premier Doug Ford made an announcement about health measures on Friday alongside chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore as COVID-19 cases continue to rise rapidly in the province.

A day after the Ontario government announced new restrictions to curb the spread of the highly-infectious Omicron variant, indoor entertainment venues across the Greater Toronto Area revealed the steps they have taken to cut capacity.

Effective Saturday at 12:01 am, capacity must be scaled back by 50 per cent. The change will apply to indoor venues that typically host 1,000 people or more.

The province reported 3,124 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, as daily positive infections continue to rise rapidly amid the Omicron variant spread. The provincial case total now stands at 642,465.

The province announced earlier this week that they are making booster shots available to those aged 18+ starting Monday.
