Toronto City Council has passed a new bylaw making the wearing of face masks mandatory in common areas of condo and apartment buildings amid the coronavirus pandemic.The new law, set to take effect next Wednesday, requires building owners to have a policy in place that ensures people wear masks in places like lobbies, elevators and laundry rooms.
Signs must also be posted.“The strengthened safety measure responds to concerns that the opportunity for more close contact, especially in indoor settings, will result in more virus spread,” City officials said in a news release.
