London city councilors enacted a mandatory face mask bylaw that will require anyone entering any public establishment to wear a face mask or covering that covers the nose, mouth, and chin.
The bylaw was first brought forward at Monday night’s Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee meeting after a discussion with London’s chief medical officer of health who encouraged councilors to take action.
Van Holst was the only councilor to vote “no” once again as the councilors passed the bylaw. He argued reasons for this refusal to vote “yes” which included London-Middlesex’s Stage 3 status, suggesting that a mandatory face mask bylaw could violate freedom.
