The Middlesex-London Health Unit would like to clarify information contained in the media release issued at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 21st (Health Unit to Issue New Section 22 Orders for Restaurants, Personal Care Settings and Fitness Facilities).

The fifth paragraph of the news release suggested that participants in a fitness class would be required to maintain three metres of physical distance between each other and wear a face covering.

The Health Unit would like to clarify that the requirement to wear a face covering during fitness classes only applies to the instructor and NOT to those participating in the class.
