Toronto police responded to 210 calls over Saturday and Sunday, charging somewhere around 160 people with breaking the province's new stricter lockdown laws.
Most of the calls came from the downtown Toronto area, said police.
According to this press release from the Toronto police, one particular gathering saw at least 10 guests what did not reside there. They were all charged, as well as the owner of the condo at King and Portland streets.
Another six people were charged for having an illegal gathering at York and Harbour streets.
"At a time when positive case counts continue to rise to worrying numbers and hospital ICU admissions are at their highest, it’s extremely disappointing to see people having parties and gatherings and putting themselves, their families, health-care workers and First Responders at increased risk," stated James Ramer, Toronto's Chief of Police.
"While I want to thank the vast majority of residents who are respecting the law, too many people – mostly adults - are having parties and hosting large gatherings in Toronto every day and night. It has to stop."
"We are at a critical point in this pandemic and these teams will continue to be deployed across the city every day to lay charges against those who are disrespecting provincial and public health orders."
