COVID 19: Mandatory Mask or Face Covering Bylaws

Wearing a mask or face covering is required in indoor public spaces beginning July 7, 2020


Disclaimer: The purpose of this page is to provide guidance to individuals and businesses on the City’s bylaws requiring the wearing of mask or face coverings in enclosed public spaces, and general guidance on mask use from Toronto Public Health. This guidance is for information purposes only and should not be relied upon or treated as legal advice. Users seeking legal advice should consult with a qualified legal professional.


Wearing a mask or face covering is required in indoor public spaces beginning July 7, 2020 under City of Toronto By-Law 541-2020 PDF and in enclosed common areas in apartment buildings and condominiums, beginning August 5, 2020, under City of Toronto By-Law 664-2020 PDF. The mask or face covering should cover your nose, mouth and chin, without gapping. Wearing a mask or face covering is an additional measure we can take to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep each other safe. This means that, with some exceptions, all customers or visitors entering an indoor premise or apartment and condominium common area are required to wear a mask or face covering while inside.
