Consider yourselves told, Windsor residents: If you ignore pandemic regulations, you will face consequences.
The City of Windsor’s bylaw enforcement department has announced that a “proactive” blitz will begin next Monday, and continue “for the foreseeable future.”
That means municipal officers will be checking on businesses and facilities to see that COVID-19 measures such as physical distancing, mandatory masking, and limits on gatherings are being respected.
They’ll also be checking if COVID-19 safety plans have been prepared and made public in a conspicuous manner.
“We’re moving from a position of potential education to one of definite enforcement,” said Bill Tetler, the city’s manager of bylaw enforcement — echoing the zero-tolerance warnings that every municipal leader in Windsor-Essex gave earlier this week.
“We’re going to ensure businesses are helping lead the way in fighting the spread of COVID-19,” Tetler promised.
