Ontario Premier Doug Ford is set to make an announcement this afternoon.
Ford will be joined alongside Health Minister Christine Elliott and Minister of Long-Term Care Merrilee Fullerton.
On Friday, Ford said he has asked his public experts to create a plan that would ease restrictions and allow businesses to start reopening in the four COVID-19 hotspots.
He did not say which day this week a decision on reopening would be made.
Toronto, Peel Region, Ottawa and York Region are currently in a modified Stage 2, which forces indoor dining, movie theatres and gyms to close.
The 28-day period for the modified Stage 2 restrictions in Toronto, Peel Region and Ottawa are set to expire at 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 6.
Restrictions end in York Region a week later.
It's expected Ford will announce changes to long term care standards today that will take effect four years from now.
