People going to movies, dine-in restaurants, sporting events and more now need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
Premier Doug Ford spoke about the province's new vaccine certificate program, calling it a temporary measure in the fight against COVID-19.
Starting today, you'll need to prove your vaccination status and show ID in order to eat inside at restaurants, or visit casinos, gyms and other venues.
Exceptions will be made for medically-exempt people who have a doctor's note.
Fines may be issued to businesses that don't comply with the program, as well as patrons who supply false information.
Ford told reporters today that he understands that this is a divisive issue, but it's necessary in order to keep businesses open in the near future.
"We can't afford to shut down again or see a sudden surge in cases like we're seeing in other places across the country," Ford said. "We will only use these certificates for as long as they are needed, and not one day longer."
While the Premier noted the measure is only temporary, there was no indication given as to how long the program will be in place.
