Local and provincial governments in Canada have said very little so far about their plans for easing COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions — but they are having closed-door discussions about how to best move forward.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has promised to release a draft of the province’s life after lockdown plan later this week, acknowledging the province is likely to be behind at least some others (British Columbia, for one, is expected to lift its regulations earlier on).

Some countries, however, are well ahead of Canada, having spent, on average, about month under strict quarantine rules that varied based on location. The impact and onset of COVID-19 also varied across those geographies.
