BREAKING: Ontario is launching a new colour-coded system for #COVID19 restrictions: green, yellow, orange, red ... and lockdown. cbc.ca/news/canada/to… #COVIDOntario 
When the system takes effect, most public health units are set to be in green or yellow, facing largely the same prevention measures as they've been under since June. #covidontario
Toronto, Peel, York, Ottawa & the Eastern Ontario Health Unit would be in orange, with LESS stringent restrictions than currently in place for "modified stage 2". Indoor drinking & dining permitted in bars & restaurants, but last call is moved up to 9pm, max 4 per table. #COVID19
Regions would not move from the orange ("protect") level to the red ("control") zone unless their case numbers shoot higher (above 100 new cases/wk/population of 100k) and test positivity rates exceed 10%. #covid19ontario
Correction: orange = "restrict"
(yellow is "protect")
(yellow is "protect")
I am puzzled why Dr Williams and Premier Ford seem reluctant to use the colours to describe COVID levels instead of the more complicated "Prevent" "Protect" "Restrict" "Control" terms.
Do you hear people saying "Hey Ottawa is in the 'restrict' phase?"
No, they'll say "orange"

Peel, York, Ottawa and Eastern Ontario health units are to move into the orange phase on Saturday. This means the ban on indoor drinking & dining at bars & restaurants ends. Toronto is not due to move there until the following Saturday, Nov. 14. #COVID19ontario
Ontario's enhanced #COVID19 data dashboard is now live here: covid-19.ontario.ca/data I reported that it would be launched today in this story: cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
