A physical distancing circle is painted onto the grass at Toronto's Trinity Bellwoods Park.TORONTO -- Crews have begun painting circles on the grass at Trinity Bellwoods Parks in downtown Toronto as a means to enforce physical distancing and avoid a repeat of last weekend when thousands of people descended on the west-end park.
The circles, which crews began painting at around 6:30 a.m., have a diameter of eight feet and are being placed 10 feet apart to ensure proper physical distancing between groups. “Painting a circle in a park is clearly not the be all end all solution but what it does is provide a very inexpensive and very easy way to just remind people of where they should be,” infectious disease expert Dr. Isaac Bogoch told CP24 on Thursday.
