Ontario Premier Doug Ford appears to be feeling positive about the COVID-19 situation in the province, as he suggested on Sunday that the province could reopen "very, very soon."

Speaking during a visit to a mass vaccination clinic in Toronto on May 16, Ford also revealed that summer camps will be able to open for July.

While the Ontario premier provided no further details or official plan for reopening, he did say that "the more people that can come out [and get vaccinated], the quicker we can open up."

He added, "We are going to open up very, very soon and I have to say one thing about the summer camps… July 3 is usually the time they open and they're opening up this year."

This comes just days after Ford announced that Ontario's stay-at-home order had been officially extended into June.
