Ontario Premier Doug Ford will announce next week that his government will introduce a COVID-19 vaccine passport system, a senior Progressive Conservative source says.
The document would provide proof of vaccination status where needed to access non-essential businesses and public spaces.
Although Ford has said in the past that a vaccine passport is not necessary — the province already offers a printout confirming inoculation — the idea is extremely popular with business groups, the medical community and the public, the source said Friday.
“We don’t want to close the economy,” a source said when asked why the province was changing its position.
