In order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, Premier Doug Ford announced that social gatherings in Toronto, Peel, and Ottawa will be limited to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors.
For those who do not abide by the new gathering rules, fines of a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum amount of $100,000 may soon be handed out to those hosting large social gatherings and $750 for people attending the events.
With the recent jump in cases across the province, more restrictions imposed by the Ford government could be a possibility.
