Numbers follow launch of snitch line

These numbers come after the city launched a snitch line on Friday.

Through a new online system, residents can submit a report on people and companies who are not complying with city bylaws and provincial orders regarding COVID-19. They can also report on those who are not physical distancing when on city property.

According to the city, residents can report the following:

Non-essential businesses remaining open.

Non-essential construction site operating.

Businesses not enforcing physical distancing.

Individuals not adhering to physical distancing on private property (e.g. parties) or city property.

Organized public gatherings of more than five people.

Removal of city park barriers.

Individuals not self-isolating when they have COVID-19, symptoms, have had close contact with someone who has it, or are awaiting test results.

Individuals not self-isolating after travel outside Canada.

Businesses suspected of price gouging.

The snitch line has received a backlash on Twitter, with many people telling the city it is not a good idea.

Hundreds of vehicles were turned away from Bluffer's Park, where the parking lot is closed. A number of people attempted to ignore pylons and closure signs in Palace Pier Park to gather at Sheldon Lookout.

"Trinity Bellwoods Park remains the most problematic park in the city when it comes to people flaunting regulations in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 and save lives," the city said in the release.

The city reminded residents of the importance of reducing contact with others outside their households and to stay home except for essential outings to help stop community transmission of the virus.
