Ontario Premier Doug Ford provides an update on the province's response to COVID-19.

On Wednesday, the Ontario government clarified its visitor rules for long-term care homes to give families and caregivers greater access to residents. The Ministry of Long-Term Care said starting Sept. 9, essential caregivers will be allowed to visit homes, including during COVID-19 outbreaks, subject to directions from local health units.

A resident can designate two caregivers who can visit without time limits and if a home is not in an outbreak, or the resident is not symptomatic or self-isolating, the caregivers can visit together.

The province reported 133 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday and no new deaths.
