Ontario's chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore is expected to deliver an update about the province's COVID-19 situation on Tuesday as the Omicron variant rapidly spreads across the province and across Canada.

The Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table estimates that each person with the Omicron variant infects on average more than three others, which would account for the rapidly climbing case counts in the province.

On Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced new restrictions in response to the spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant on Friday, like capacity limits, restrictions on food and drink service, and gathering size caps are among the new measures that were announced.
