On March 9, 2022, The Government of Ontario announced that several COVID-19 measures will be withdrawn in the coming weeks and months.

The Ontario Government has announced that masking requirements will be removed in many indoor settings as of March 21, 2022; however, this does not include health-care settings, as of that date. Regulated health professions, including chiropractors, should continue to practise in accordance with COVID-19 guidance for the health sector, including masks for health professionals, staff and patients, and active screening requirements, pending any further direction from the Ontario Government.

The Government of Ontario announcement also included that as of April 27, 2022, mask requirements would be removed in the remainder of indoor settings and that COVID-19 health-care directives would be lifted on that date.

The College is continuing to review COVID-19 protocols in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and other health regulatory colleges and will continue to post up-to-date protocols and guidance on the COVID-19 webpage. Please continue to check the COVID-19 webpage regularly as updates continue.
