TORONTO, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) – Ontario is set today to announce details of a province-wide COVID-19 passport this afternoon after plans to reveal it yesterday were put on hold.
According to media reports, Premier of Ontario Doug Ford will announce the vaccine passport at 1:00 p.m. EDT. He is to be joined in a press conference with Health Minister Christine Elliott and the province’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Kieran Moore.
According to a CTV News report, the new vaccine passport will be needed for access to non-essential businesses in Ontario. Those who choose not to jet jabbed will be barred from visiting concert halls, movie theaters, gyms, sit-down indoor restaurants, and sporting events.
Multiple media reports say that the vaccine passport is to come into effect on September 22, but would not apply to retail shopping, essential services, outdoor areas, or banks.
According to a Toronto Sun news report, the vaccine passport will have two steps and be “fully implemented” by October.
For the first step, people will have to use their government-issued identification alongside their COVID-19 vaccine receipt to show proof of having had the jabs.
