Ontario government to allow 550 frontline workers to attend Game 7. MORE:
“Following discussions with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Toronto Public Health and hospital partners, I am happy to announce that they have signed off on allowing 550 fully vaccinated frontline health care workers, including hospital and long-term care staff, to be invited to attend Game 7 of the series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens at Scotiabank Arena tonight.”
The office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health had previously rejected a proposal to allow fully vaccinated healthcare workers to attend the game. "This is well below the arena’s capacity. With these health care workers having received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine at least two weeks ago, and with precautionary measures in place like screening, masking, distancing, enhanced cleaning and crowd control, public health officials are confident we can put these special fans in the stands safely and with minimal risk."
2,500 paying fans were in attendance for Saturday night’s Game 6 at Bell Centre in Montreal as COVID-19 restrictions were eased in the city. Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment will be covering the cost for the fans to attend Monday's game and providing a jersey to each person at the game.
