But as of Wednesday, protocols around restaurants and bars across Toronto are changing once again. City council voted unanimously to approve a number of additional measures aimed at curbing a recent surge in COVID-19 cases. That includes the bylaws mandating physical distancing in public spaces, mandatory masks, public health measures for bars and restaurants and temporary COVID-19 amendments that cover apartment buildings. Restaurants will soon receive additional support from the city, including help to implement year-round outdoor dining. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)The new rules come after Toronto Public Health identified COVID-19 clusters and outbreaks at several restaurants and bars in the downtown core.
