Anyone with an expired Ontario health card now has until September 30th to renew.
The province is extending the requirement to renew health cards until September 30th.
Health Minister Christine Elliott says Ontarians will be able to continue their expired health card, including red and white health cards, to access health services until that point.
The previous deadline was set for February 28th.
"In response to the pandemic our government extended the renewal requirements for Ontario health cards," said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. "While the majority of Ontarians have continued to renew their documents throughout the pandemic, we are committed to ensuring all Ontarians have the opportunity to renew while continuing to access the care they need, when they need it."
Meanwhile, ServiceOntario is taking steps to make it easier to renew health cards online in the coming months.
Anyone who experiences problems renewing their health card can call ServiceOntario at 1-866-532-3161 (TTY : 1-800-387-5559).
