Enforcement officers will be evaluating capacity limits, mask usage and sanitizing, among other measures.

"We know, from inspecting over 23,000 workplaces during 34,000 field visits, that the vast majority of Ontario businesses are following COVID-19 requirements to protect the health and safety of their workers," Labour Minister Monte McNaughton said.

However, not all companies are following the rules exactly as they should be.

Authorities fined Walmart, Costco, and Shoppers Drug Mart stores in York Region for non-compliance, which were $880 each.

The first enforcement blitz of 2021 will occur in Hastings and Prince Edward County while additional campaigns are being planned for 10 other communities.
