Premier Ford said he's awaiting guidance from Dr. Williams on whether Ontario can open up sooner than June 14.
He did not take Dr. Williams' guidance on schools re-opening, though. #onpoli
"Indoors bad, outdoors good," the Premier summarizes, when asked why kids aren't going back. #onpoli
Ford says there wasn't consensus - although he says most experts agreed on sending kids back to school, they didn't answer his questions about variants and how many cases reopening schools would lead to.
