Opposition NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says she backs the call to immediately reduce everyone’s contacts by 50 per cent.
Horwath accused the Premier of avoiding action while Omicron bulldozed its way across Ontario
Horwath says Doug Ford put us in the position where we need a circuit breaker to avoid completely overwhelming hospitals and causing schools and businesses to shut down. The NDP leader adding reducing capacity everywhere is our best chance to avoid shutdowns.
Meanwhile, Quebec's Premier not wasting anytime trying to contain the spread of the variant.
