Some Blue Jays fans say social distancing and masking protocols aren’t being well followed at the Rogers Centre during games, creating an opportunity for the more contagious COVID-19 Delta variant to spread. “I probably haven’t been in a crowd that big since COVID — I felt very uncomfortable,” said Tyler Partridge who attended a Blue Jays game two weeks ago with his wife. Dedicated Blue Jays game day staff are trained to ensure fans are following health and safety protocols. “The Toronto Blue Jays worked closely with all levels of public health to ensure the Rogers Centre reopening plan provides a safe ballpark experience for Blue Jays fans, staff and players,” according to a spokesperson. While there have been no exposures or outbreaks linked to Blue Jays games at the Rogers Centre, TPH has received complaints related to Blue Jays games, which have been forwarded to enforcement and the Rogers Centre to ensure compliance.
