This summer, Toronto made it mandatory to wear a face-covering in all indoor public areas. Now, the city's mayor wants Toronto's mask rules to apply in your own home. Particularly if you are having company over.

Mayor Tory spoke on the benefits of wearing a mask within your home during his press conference on Monday.

He says that if you insist on having a gathering at your place, the same rules should apply.

This comes after Toronto reported 453 new cases of COVID-19 throughout the weekend, according to the city's medical officer, Dr. Eileen De Villa.

In response to the growing number of infections in the city, gathering sizes have been reduced to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors.

The province will be unveiling its plan to combat a possible second wave of the disease later this week.
