Social gathering limits scaled back in Ontario
hotspots, $10K fines announced
The Ford government announced that starting on Friday, social gathering limits will be reduced to 10 indoors and 25 outdoors for Toronto, Peel Region and Ottawa.
Indoor and outdoor events cannot be merged and the cap is not cumulative — gatherings of 35 are not permitted.
At a news conference on Thursday, Premier Doug Ford said the cap includes parties in backyards and gatherings in parks, but won’t be applied to restaurants, bars and other staffed businesses like cinemas, gyms, convention centres and sporting or performing arts events. Current public health measures continue to apply to those businesses.
The new guidelines also do not apply to weddings held in banquet halls or convention centres that already must follow existing social distancing and other public health measures.
Toronto Mayor John Tory said he is concerned about that decision because the city has identified the spread of COVID-19 at a number of weddings.
“Weddings are opportunities for crowds of people to get together … (and) in the end, these are places that it seems the virus is spreading. So, we’re going to have to have a look at how we can educate people better.”
