Today is the first full day of the Halton Region mandatory mask bylaw. This bylaw encompasses all of Halton Region including Milton, Oakville, Halton Hills and Burlington and takes precedent over any other local bylaws.
Please make sure you have your mask with you when heading out to public places where they would be required (subject to exemptions)
We ask that you please be kind to each other, be patient to everyone including staff at businesses as we are all getting used to the new bylaw.
Halton Region Public Health is reminding residents and businesses that other important public health measures and direction remain in place as the COVID-19 pandemic and emergency continues. We must protect the progress we have made together so we can continue to move forward, not backwards.
Please remember that wearing a mask does not replace other important public health measures:
- wash your hands;
- stay home when you are sick;
- physically distance (social distance) with those outside your social circle; and
- physically distance and wear a mask in indoor public places.
