‘No mask, no service:’ Markham mayor calls on province to make masks mandatory indoors
Markham is calling on the provincial government to make masks mandatory in enclosed indoor spaces where physical distancing isn’t possible as his city moves towards Stage 2 of reopening Friday.“We are prepared to take our first cautious steps toward recovery, whether it is getting a haircut or enjoying the first meal on a restaurant patio with a small group of family or friends — this is a positive development,” Frank Scarpitti said in a statement Monday evening.“We are definitely moving in the right direction; however, this is not the time to let our guard down or to ease safety restrictions.”Scarpitti said he wants to see retailers and personal service shops implement a “no mask, no service” policy.
