The rules laid out by the Ontario government are pretty clear: maintain a physical distance of at least two metres and do not hold gatherings of five or more people during the state of emergency declared due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA), police can fine anyone who violates the emergency order $750, or $880 when you factor in court surcharges. .@Chief_SGilbert tells me @PtboPolice laid charges against a group playing basketball.
It was a group of more than 5 and after being asked to leave, they didn't. Fine was $750. Another example of education first before charges laid. #ptbo #covid19 #coronavirus — Mark Giunta (@GiuntaNews) April 2, 2020 Between March 17 and April 21,
