The decision comes after three staff members tested positive for COVID-19 at a licensed child-care centre for children of essential workers a day earlier. Ford was also asked why Ontario isn't setting firm reopening dates or targets, while other provinces edge toward restarting their economies. Ontario reported 347 additional cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, the first day with fewer than 400 new cases since April 7. The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients increased by 20 in the last day, to 977 from 957. The new instances of COVID-19 reported today put the cumulative provincial tally since the outbreak began in late January at 15,728.
