Part of province's decision to start loosening restrictions
Starting today, residents of long-term care homes in Ontario can see more caregivers and take social trips.
Residents who've had at least three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine are now allowed to resume social day trips, and residents can see up to four designated caregivers, but only two at a time.

The number of people in intensive care also dropped yesterday and now sits at 486.
