More mandates are continuing to expire.
Monday March 14, the requirement that long-term care homes, hospitals and other health care settings employees be fully vaccinated expires. Schools are also included in this list.
It is up to each facility to continue the mandate on their own if they choose to.
These impacted sectors will still receive rapid tests, as well eligible care staff and residents will be able to get free PCR testing.
Visitor rules are also being relaxed in care settings; children under five years old will be allowed visitation as well as unvaxxed residents will be permitted overnight stays.
March 21 is when masks will no longer be mandatory in public settings, allowing each business with the exception of public transit, LTC/retirement home settings, shelters, jails & other congregate care settings.
Businesses will no longer need to screen patrons upon arrival, and co-horting in schools along with symptom screening comes to an end.
