As of midnight tonight, Peel Region will move into the red "control" zone of Ontario's new COVID-19 tracking system.

The new system, announced Thursday, sorts regions into different colour zones depending on positivity rates.

Peel will be the only region in the red zone, which means they will see stringent measures.
