Today, City Council will consider a report from Dr. @epdevilla to make it mandatory for people to wear masks or face coverings inside businesses and other public facilities. This recommendation would give clear direction on face coverings to stop the spread of #COVID19.
In many respects, from the standpoint of both health and the law, clarity is what is being sought on the matter of face coverings which has been a topic of active discussion since the beginning of this pandemic.
We know people don't want to see a repeat of what is going on in other parts of the world. Wearing masks or face coverings keeps you from unknowingly spreading #COVID19 and keeps the people around you from spreading it to you. It is about respecting and protecting each other.
This proposed measure makes sense from a health perspective and it makes sense from a business perspective. If approved today, this bylaw would come into effect a week from now, shortly after face coverings also become mandatory on the #TTC.
All of these measures will help stop the spread of #COVID19 in our city and across the GTHA. I really believe that people want to protect their own health and the health of others and that they will do the right thing and wear a face covering.
