A social gathering in Vaughan ended in enforcement last week after the city busted it.

An emailed statement by the city given to Narcity confirms that the gathering took place at a private address between March 8 and March 14 in the Concord area of Vaughan and that 48 charges were laid.

All 48 charges laid were the same: Social gathering under COVID-19 Emergency By-Law 037-2020, Sec. 10.0(1) Fail to comply with any provision of the By-law, including an Order or Enforcement Order made under the By-law, which lands an $880 fine unless otherwise stated.

The City Of Vaughan is currently in the red-control zone of the provincial COVID-19 framework, meaning that indoor gatherings are limited to five people.

This isn't the first time a Vaughan gathering has garnered attention. In December, a Vaughan birthday party caused a COVID-19 outbreak, causing 11 people to fall ill.
