Speaking to media, Ford said that "everything is on the table" and that he "won't hesitate to lock things down, if [he] has to."

"Folks, don't make big huge plans with family members. That's where the problems start," Ford said of the upcoming Easter weekend.

On Monday, Dr. Peter Juni of the provincial COVID-19 science advisory table told Narcity that the pandemic in Ontario is "completely out of control," and urged the government to enact a "circuit-breaker" style lockdown.

For six straight days, Ontario has reported over 2,000 new cases a day.
