It is now mandatory to wear a face mask in the common areas of Ottawa apartment and condo buildings following an amendment to the local face mask bylaw passed at the city council.
The council passed a motion to extend Ottawa’s mandatory face mask bylaw to the end of October amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Aside from giving the city staff the power to extend the mask rules to certain outdoor areas of the city where large gatherings are making physical distancing difficult, the restrictions were extended to include anyone entering or staying in the common areas of multi-unit complexes, including elevators.
