Leamington lifts mask requirements

LEAMINGTON – At its March 22 meeting, Leamington Council repealed the Municipality’s Mask By-law to align with the recent Ontario Government announcement lifting COVID-19 masking requirements for most settings.

Effective last week, wearing a mask is optional to enter all Leamington municipal facilities including the Leamington Municipal Building and the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre.

Under the province’s remaining regulations, Leamington Transit and LTW Transit riders are still required to wear a mask while using transit.

This requirement ensures transit continues to be a safe and reliable way to get around without contributing to the spread of COVID-19.

“The municipality supports residents and their choice to continue COVID-19 personal protection measures that make them feel comfortable, and asks that you remain kind, considerate and respectful to each other as we move through this stage of the pandemic together,” said a statement released on Friday.
