Complaints of residents using park equipment and congregating in parks:
City parks and trails are open for public use; however, people out getting fresh air are being reminded and advised of the need and importance to practice physical distancing. That means remaining approximately 2 metres (6 feet) apart. The City has closed facilities within parks such as playgrounds, sports courts, leash-free zones, picnic shelters, skateboard parks etc. We are working extremely hard to get this message out to parents, families and all residents. Signs have been installed in these areas and facilities have been locked where possible. We are asking for their safety, and to prevent the spread of COVID-19, that they abide by these closures. The City will do what we can to ensure residents comply with these closures through our Security and Parks teams, but with reduced staffing levels and over 500 parks, it is difficult to be everywhere at once. We are really asking and relying on residents to listen to what the City is asking, what the Province is asking and what the Federal Government is asking them to do.
Mississauga Transit:
Transit remains an essential service in Mississauga. City Centre Transit Terminal will remain open to the public and the information booth will remain open, and relocate inside the terminal at the fares booth. The fares booth will close on Monday, March 23 until further notice. Our Call Centre remains open to support our on-street operations and passengers.

Residents worried about newspaper, mail and touching delivered items:
It is not yet known how long the virus causing COVID-19 lives on surfaces, however, early evidence suggests it can live on objects and surfaces from a few hours to days. The risk of spread from products shipped over a period of days or weeks at room temperature is very low. There is no known risk of coronaviruses entering Canada on parcels or packages. As a precaution, wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
