In a news conference at Queen’s Park, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Christine Elliott provide an update on their government’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. They are joined by Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health. The premier asks Ontarians to follow the guidelines for the upcoming holiday season published earlier by the government. Premier Ford also reacts to a report from the province's auditor general, which identifies a number of systemic problems with both the planning and management of Ontario’s response to the pandemic. Ford argues that his province has one of the lowest COVID-19 infection rates across North America.
