Because a very large part of the population is vaccinated, the peak of the Omicron wave has passed and because hospitals are under less pressure, the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, has decided to abolish the vaccination pass. for sporting events and indoor concerts. A decision that has a direct impact on professional sports franchises in this state since the Raptors will be able to play in front of a full house, and spectators will no longer have to present their vaccination pass.
Concretely, since February 17, the Maple Leafs (NHL), the Toronto FC (MLS), the Argonauts (CFL) and therefore the Raptors can open 50% of their enclosures to the public, and from March 1, there will be no gauge. As a bonus, you no longer need to present a vaccination pass at the entrance. Initially, the date for the full reopening of the room was scheduled for March 14.
On the other hand, wearing a mask remains compulsory at the Scotiabank Arena.
