Ontario will lower the limits on social gatherings in a bid to stem a recent increase in COVID-19 cases, but isn't yet saying when the new health guidelines will be available. Provincial health officials have attributed the spike in cases largely to people not following public health guidelines at social gatherings. Ford has promised to take action in the regions where most of the cases have emerged — Toronto, Peel, and Ottawa. Ontario reported another 315 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday — more than half of which are in people under 40. Of the province's 34 health units, 25 reported five or fewer cases, and 12 regions saw no new cases at all.
