Communications

Stephen Huycke, Director of Legislative Services/City Clerk, City of Richmond Hill dated June 30, 2020

Recommendation: Receive

E.

Consideration and Adoption of Reports

E.1

Public Health Considerations of Mandating the Use of Face Coverings as a Measure to Reduce the Spread of COVID-19

Report dated July 6, 2020 from the Commissioner of Community and Health Services and the Medical Officer of Health recommending that:

1. Regional Council endorse the Medical Officer of Health issuing an instruction, consistent with the approach taken by other Public Health Units including the Regional Municipality of Durham, that requires operators of enclosed public spaces to have a policy in place that prohibits persons from entering premises of the establishment if the person is not wearing a non-medical face covering, subject to appropriate exemptions.
2. The instruction shall further specify that best efforts shall be made by operators of enclosed public spaces in good faith, to only allow entry to persons wearing a non-medical face covering and that education rather than enforcement shall be the principle objective of the instruction.

F.

F.1
