Ontario chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore made an announcement this afternoon (Aug. 17) at 1 p.m. from Queen's Park in Toronto.

The announcement turned out to have more details than simply that, including a pause on the Roadmap to Reopening and the announcement of third vaccine doses for vulnerable populations.
