Ontario's Minister of Health Christine Elliott told CTV News that the province is considering entering stage one of its three-stage re-opening plan starting on June 11.
“I can tell you that (a June 11 reopening) is something we are looking. We are still looking at the numbers and the numbers are looking quite favourable but there are still other factors we have to take into consideration,” the minister said.
As of 8:00 p.m. yesterday, 10,109,404 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered, including 116,829 doses administered yesterday.

Elliott told CTV that the plan correlates with Ontario surpassing the 60 percent vaccination threshold, a benchmark Ontario surpassed last Friday.
Elliott also said that businesses would be given sufficient notice of when restrictions lift.

Larger outdoor gatherings for up to 10 people
Outdoor dining for up to 4 people per table
Essential retail capacity at 25%
Non-essential retail at 15%
Outdoor religious services, rites and ceremonies with capacity limited to permit physical distancing of 2 metres
