Ontario Premier Doug Ford says health officials are considering Cineplex's proposal to increase the number of people allowed inside multiplex theatres. The province's Stage 3 reopening guidelines cap a movie theatre's occupancy at 50 guests per building, regardless of how many screens it operates. Cineplex has asked the province to reconsider the current rule, saying it would lose money by reopening locations in the province. Ford says Cineplex's proposal is "on the table," but that any changes would have to be approved by the chief medical officer. He says health officials would like to see the number of COVID-19 cases on a steady decline first.
