Kingston police, with assistance from City of Kingston bylaw enforcement, are on the lookout for people breaking the physical distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of March 30, Kingston police can issue a fine of $880 to those who are gathering with more than five people in accordance with the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.
Essentially, anyone who is with two or more residents who don’t live in the same household and are within two metres of each other will be issued a ticket.
