“These are really smart people, and they know right from wrong.”
Ontario Premier Doug Ford held a press conference on Monday, providing clarity on vaccine targets and the province's reopening plan.
Premier Ford, when asked about rules surrounding unvaccinated healthcare workers needing to provide a negative COVID test, said that he does not "believe in forcing anyone to et a vaccination that doesn't want it."
"If you aren't getting it, some of the hospitals have an education video that you need to watch. These are really smart people, and they know right from wrong. I just encourage them to please, just get vaccinated. There's very few of them, but still, we'd love to see 100 percent."

"The kids are going to be going back to school," said Ford, "even if I have to get on that school bus and drive it myself."
The premier continued to say that the plan, which he called "great and comprehensive," would be released soon.
