Ontario Premier Doug Ford will hold a news conference on Monday to provide an update on the province's ongoing response to the pandemic, as the daily COVID-19 case count is the highest one-day increase since early June.

The premier has announced over the weekend the reduction of indoor and outdoor gathering limits across the province as more COVID-19 cases were recorded.

Indoor gatherings are now capped at 10 people inside and 25 people outside. Organizers of gatherings in violation of the rules could face a minimum fine of $10,000 and those who attend could also be fined $750.
