The new regional private indoor and outdoor gathering restrictions and stronger enforcement of the Temporary Mandatory Mask By-law have now been implemented to respond to the recent resurgence of positive COVID-19cases in Ottawa.
Regional indoor and outdoor gathering restrictions applied to Ottawa

People who are not exempt from the by-law and fail to wear a mask can receive a $240 fine, including a victim surcharge. Businesses or property owners who fail to comply with the by-law can receive a fine of $490, including a victim surcharge.
The decision to issue a ticket will be based on whether a warning is deemed insufficient or if the individual or business is a repeat offender.
In addition to the masking requirements and private gathering restrictions, residents are reminded to remain COVIDwise to protect themselves and those around them:
