#HamiltonReopens: Municipal decorative fountains in Hamilton will begin opening next week. Residents should not enter the water or gather around the fountains.
While Johnson Tew Park will remain open, the City will be closing the parking lot at the park due to large crowds gathering and motorists using the parking lot to access Tew’s Falls. Residents are reminded that all waterfall and escarpment areas remain closed at this time...
...These are particularly difficult to physically distance in as their natural features and limitations mean that the trail systems are narrow. Further, there are natural gathering areas such as lookouts and trail head entrances that encourage gathering.
For regular City of Hamilton COVID-19 updates, please visit hamilton.ca/coronavirus and hamilton.ca/covidclosures.

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,
