Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott announced Wednesday that rapid antigen COVID-19 tests will now be available to residents in pharmacies and grocery stores, with a limit of one box per household, per visit.

She said it would be up to the businesses on how the rapid tests can be distributed, such as through appointments or in-store pickup.

As Alberta and Saskatchewan drop most COVID-19 restrictions, Elliott was asked if measures in the province may be removed earlier than scheduled according to the province's reopening plan. She said there was no plan to drop the proof of vaccination or masking requirements yet as the province is "not in the clear" to do so.

The next phase of reopening is expected to see the easing of more public health measures, including removing capacity limits in indoor public settings where proof of vaccination is required, permitting spectators at 50 per cent capacity for sporting events, concert venues and theatres, and increasing social gathering limits to 25 people indoors and 100 outdoors. It will occur on Feb. 21.
