The COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario is an ongoing viral pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Canada was announced on 25 January 2020, involving a traveler who had recently returned to Toronto from travel in China, including Wuhan. As of 10 November 2020, Ontario has the second-largest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases among Canada's provinces and territories, behind only Quebec
With increasing transmission province-wide, a state of emergency was declared by Premier Doug Ford on 17 March 2020, including the gradual implementation of restrictions on gatherings and commerce. On 3 April, the province released modelling projecting that over the full course of the pandemic with no mitigation measures 100,000 deaths would have occurred, and with the then-current measures 3,000 to 15,000 deaths would occur. Projections for test-confirmed cases by 30 April were 12,500 (best case scenario), 80,000 (expected case scenario), and 300,000 (worst-case scenario).
From late spring to early summer, the majority of the deaths were residents of long-term care homes.[2] In late April, one out of five of all long-term care homes in Ontario had an outbreak and 70% to 80% of all COVID-19 deaths had been in retirement and long-term care homes. Following medical assistance and observation by the Canadian Armed Forces, the military released a report detailing "a number of medical, professional and technical issues" amongst 'for-profit' long-term-care homes including neglect and lack of equipment and allegations of elder abuse.
From May through August, the province instituted a three-stage plan to lift economic restrictions, subject to the employment of social distancing and other guidelines, and continued restrictions on the sizes of gatherings. A plan was implemented for the return-to-class of public schools, involving more than 2 million children.
On 14 January 2021 Ontario entered a second state of emergency. The state of emergency included a stay at home order where residents were instructed to stay home. Exceptions for the stay at home order included leaving the home for food, healthcare, exercise or work.[93]
