Premier Doug Ford is urging people not to make plans for Easter.

His comments come after a recent spike in COVID-19 cases in the province.

The Premier says he's considering additional restrictions to fight the increase in cases, but wouldn't specify what measures his government is considering.

"Everything’s on the table right now, so folks be prepared. I’m asking you, don’t make plans for Easter. I won’t hesitate to lock things down."

Earlier today, the province reported 2,336 new cases and 14 deaths.

Ford is also calling on the federal government to provide more vaccines to the province.
