On January 12, 2021 the Government of Ontario announced a State of Emergency to limit the spread of COVID-19 and minimize contacts, which will commence Thursday, January 14 at 12:01 a.m. This decision comes with Stay-At-Home Orders and  stronger enforcement measures to deal with organized public gatherings. With a provincial emergency, the Government of Ontario will provide authority to all provincial offences officers, including the Ontario Provincial Police, local police forces, bylaw officers, and provincial workplace inspectors to issue tickets to individuals who do not comply with the stay-at-home-order, or those not wearing a mask or face covering indoors in places open to the public. Those who do not to abide by these orders will be subject to set fines and/or prosecution by the Government of Ontario.
