Today, the City of Hamilton is providing another update to the community on the City’s response to COVID-19.

As of 9am today, there are 495 confirmed positive cases, five probable cases, and 25 deaths from COVID-19 in #HamOnt.

Full May 13 release: hamilton.ca/government-inf…
#HamiltonReopens: Starting this Saturday, May 16 payment will once again be required and enforced at all PARKING meters and lots, to ensure that on-street parking and parking in municipal lots is available for businesses and employees.
To support local businesses and restaurants participating in curbside pickup and delivery, the first 30 minutes at parking meters will be free until further notice.
Enforcement of some parking violations will continue to be suspended, such as time limits on residential streets, to support the high number of residents still working from home.
#HamiltonReopens: Today, City Council approved the terms of reference for the Mayor’s Economic Recovery Task force. The Task force will provide multi-sectoral leadership & direction to guide Hamilton’s economic recovery in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Mayor’s Economic Recovery Task force will be made up of representatives from local business, labour, industry and the academic community along with three representatives from Hamilton City Council, plus the Mayor.
#HamiltonReopens: Today, Hamilton City Council passed a motion to support outdoor dining districts as an early step aimed at economic recovery for one of the city’s hard-hit sectors.

Council has created the opportunity for business improvement associations and...
...the restaurant industry to use some areas of city streets and parking areas or their own parking lots as temporary outdoor dining spaces to provide additional seating capacity in anticipation of public health restrictions with respect to indoor dining.
To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, @hsr is asking customers to consider wearing a face covering on public transit. It is not mandatory, but can help protect others in spaces where physical distancing can be hard to maintain. Transit continues to be for essential travel only.
#HamiltonReopens: As of today, @Hamilton_CA conservation areas are accessible for passive recreation only, such as hiking, biking & bird-watching. All on-site facilities (including washrooms, pavilions, Trail Centre & gatehouses, etc.) remain closed. conservationhamilton.ca/hca-reopens-ar…
To safeguard the health and safety of our visitors and staff, the City of Hamilton endorsed the joint @Hamilton_CA and city staff recommendation to suspend operations for the 2020 season at Wild Waterworks.
A safe environment for visitors and community is a top priority for @Hamilton_CA who operates the facility and the City of Hamilton, who owns Wild Waterworks. Physical distancing would not be possible for swimmers in a wave pool or other water attractions.
During the closure, Wild Waterworks will be undergo maintenance, including to the Eazy River & Little Squirt Works to refresh for the 2021 season.

Contact Wild Waterworks (905-547-6141) to speak with a staff member if you have questions about season passes & day tickets.
Today, Hamilton City Council voted to amend the City's Fireworks and Administrative Penalties By-law (By-law 02-285) and invoke a temporary fireworks ban.

Effective immediately, the sale and discharge of all fireworks in the City of Hamilton is prohibited until July 4, 2020.
The temporary ban includes the use of sparklers, which the government of Canada classifies as consumer fireworks. Residents found to be acting not in accordance with the temporary ban will be subject to a penalty of $500. Penalties apply to residents, businesses & non-residents.
The temporary ban is to help prevent large gatherings and the spread of COVID-19, to reduce the potential for fires at a time when emergency response teams are required to handle issues directly related to the COVID-19 emergency, and...
...to protect emergency response and Municipal Law Enforcement staff from having to inspect more businesses or respond to more situations than necessary during the pandemic.

With cases of COVID-19 on the rise in #HamOnt and across Ontario, Hamilton’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Elizabeth Richardson, is echoing the announcement made by Premier Doug Ford earlier today and recommending that residents move away from the concept of the “social circle”
and limit close interactions to those within their households.

Trends in COVID-19 cases in Hamilton are showing that the virus is most commonly being transmitted at private social gatherings, in situations where people are not practicing appropriate physical distancing,
and when people are not wearing masks indoors or in other settings where physical distancing is a challenge.

With businesses and schools reopening, and many residents returning to work, the concept of a social circle no longer reflects the reality of our daily lives,
