City Update: Mandatory Mask Bylaw
Beginning today, Tuesday, July 7, masks or face coverings are required in all indoor public spaces to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
On June 30, Toronto City Council voted unanimously in favour of a mandatory and temporary mask/face covering bylaw. Enforcement of this temporary bylaw will focus on education and otherwise be complaint-based. In extreme situations where education does not result in compliance, bylaw officers may take enforcement action.This bylaw includes exemptions for those who cannot wear a mask for medical reasons, children under the age of two, and other accommodations. This bylaw also permits the temporary removal of a mask/face covering when receiving services, having a meal, or engaging in athletic activities.
This bylaw does not apply to apartment buildings and condominiums, child care facilities and schools, and areas that are not enclosed (i.e. restaurant patios)
Please visit the City of Toronto's website for more details.
