About the COVID-19 Response Framework: Keeping Ontario Safe and Open - PAUSED

Please note that during the Provincewide Shutdown the COVID-19 Response Framework: Keeping Ontario Safe and Open is paused.

The COVID-19 Response Framework: Keeping Ontario Safe and Open was implemented in order to take preventative measures to help avoid broader closures and allow for additional public health and workplace safety measures to be introduced or removed incrementally. Within the framework there are five public health categories that public health unit regions can fall into. Each public health category outlines the types of public health and workplace safety measures for businesses and organizations for each category. These include targeted measures for specific sectors, institutions and other settings. 

The five levels of public health measures are:Five Levels of Public Health
