All schools in Canada’s most populous province will be shut down and move to online learning because of a record number of coronavirus infections fuelled by the ultra-contagious Omicron variant, Ontario’s premier announced on Monday.
Premier Doug Ford also announced the closure of indoor dining. Gyms and cinemas will also close and hospitals have also been told to pause all non-urgent surgeries.
Ontario is seeing record new infections and there are concerns about hospital capacity.
“I know online learning is not ideal,” Ford said. “The fact is Omicron spreads like wildfire.”
The reopening of schools has been delayed until at least January 17. Just last week, the government announced schools would open on Wednesday.

Schools shut down for in-class learning last April because of record cases driven by the Delta variant. They had since resumed in class learning.
Ford said they are expecting a “tsunami” of cases and noted just one per cent of 100,000 new cases a day could overwhelm hospitals. Ontario has a population of more than 14.7 million.
“The math isn’t on our side,” Ford said.
Retail stores will be limited to 50 per cent capacity and indoor social gatherings will be capped at five people.
The new measures will begin on Wednesday.
“They had no choice,” said Dr Andrew Morris, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Toronto and the medical director of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at Sinai-University Health Network.
“It was going to be brutal one way or the other. Show me who isn’t facing these realities? Anywhere?” he said.
