As news of the free doughnuts spread, concern grew that social distancing was not being observed among those lining up at stores. Acting Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke urged businesses to "act responsibly" during the health crisis."This is nonsensical and defies logic," he said in a statement. He said promotions like the Krispy Kreme giveaway did nothing to assist in maintaining social distancing, describing that as being "vital to stopping the spread of the virus".
