       Parents and experts say they want clearer guidance about how kids under 12 who aren’t eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations fit into Ontario’s reopening plan.

       The province will allow more indoor activities to resume later this week but Stephen Ouderkirk says his family is sticking to outdoor social gatherings with their newborn son who can’t get vaccinated.

       Pediatric infectious disease physician Dr. Nisha Thampi says families with mixed vaccination status should keep following guidelines like staying home when sick and gathering outdoors where possible.

       She says she’d like to see details on whether unvaccinated children will be subject to different guidelines when restrictions are eased further, and more assessment of where risks are greatest for them.

       University of Toronto epidemiologist Ashleigh Tuite says young children are at risk of being left behind as restrictions roll back and says some rules like masking in public places should stay for now.

       The Public Health Agency of Canada outlined activity guidelines based on people’s vaccination status last month but Ontario hasn’t released guidance specific to its reopening plan.

       Ontario’s top doctor has said higher vaccination rates in the broader community will help protect young children by keeping infections low.

       Meanwhile, the province is reporting 114 new COVID-19 cases today and no new deaths from the virus.

       Health Minister Christine Elliott says 18 of the new cases are in Grey Bruce, 15 are in Waterloo Region and 10 are in Toronto.

       The data is based on 15,933 tests.

       There are 204 patients in intensive care with COVID-related critical illness and 123 people on ventilators.

       The province says 121,653 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered yesterday for a total of more than 17 million.

       Seventy-nine per cent of all Ontario adults have at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose and 56 per cent are fully vaccinated.
