Hamilton’s mayor continues to appeal to everyone to “get with the program” as social-distancing rules are in effect due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Fred Eisenberger says the “vast majority” of people are doing the right thing to help control the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, but adds that there will be tickets and fines for those who don’t comply with the rules now in place.
His latest comments follow a weekend of warnings and, in some cases, $750 fines, to people using municipal golf courses, trails and escarpment stairs while they are closed under an emergency order.
Eisenberger adds that the city will be taking the crackdown a step further by issuing $500 fines for failing to physically distance oneself
