The Ontario government announced Saturday morning that it is extending nearly all emergency orders under the Reopening Ontario Act (ROA) for an additional 30 days, saying the extension of most orders under the act will help to “preserve our health care capacity and protect Ontarians until everyone can be vaccinated.”

The orders under the ROA, which were set to expire on January 20, have been extended until February 19.
