The Ontario govern- ment has lifted the stay-at- home order in Halton and other regions, as the Prov- ince moved to a new colour- coded COVID-19 frame- work, which comes with more restrictions depend- ing on the stage. To further limit the spread of the disease -- in- cluding the more conta- gious variant of COVID-19 -- the Province also an- nounced that it is pushing back March break to April 12. "This decision was made with the best advice of public health officials, including Ontario's chief medical officer of health and local medical officers of health," Education Min- ister Stephen Lecce said on Feb. 11. "At this time, it is critical that we continue to prioritize the health and safety of students, staff and families."
