The report focuses on the 47 emergency orders made between March 17 and July 24, 2020 when the Declaration of a Provincial Emergency was in effect under the <em>Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act<\/em> (EMCPA).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Ontario government has taken decisive action to protect public health and stop the spread of COVID-19,&#8221; said Minister Jones. &#8220;This report summarizes how our government, with the advice of public health experts, used the tools provided under Ontario&#8217;s emergency legislation to keep people safe and mitigate the impact of the virus while the declared provincial emergency was in effect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The EMCPA requires the government table a report in the Legislature within 120 days after a provincial emergency ends. The COVID-19 report outlines the rationale for issuing the 47 emergency orders and the important role they played to protect the community, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limiting the spread of COVID-19<\/li>\n<li>Supporting continuity of critical services<\/li>\n<li>Supporting business<\/li>\n<li>Supporting vulnerable sectors<\/li>\n<li>Providing cost relief to Ontarians<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;While the declared provincial emergency was terminated on July 24, 2020, the fight against COVID-19 is ongoing and our government continues to take the action needed to protect the health and well-being of Ontarians,&#8221; said Minister Jones. &#8220;We all have a role to play and with the upward trend in COVID-19 cases, we need to follow public health advice and practice physical distancing, wear a face covering when in public places or when physical distancing is a challenge, wash your hands frequently, and limit social contact to those within our own household.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solicitor General Sylvia Jones haws tabled a report in the Legislature providing details of the emergency measures put in place by the province to stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep Ontarians safe.
