Firstly I think that you would have difficulty enforcing these requirements on individual lots if they are engaging people to do their private work.
In any case you would need to vet every cleaner, plumber, electrician, ironing person,dog walker . It’s just not practical let alone reasonable and dare I say legal. (The OC does not have jurisdiction of people’s private property).
You could make a bylaw requiring wearing masks on common property, but every person in the block would need to comply( bylaws can’t be discriminatory).
For the common property, who’s going to vet the contractors? As you say, it’s likely that if the conditions are too onerous, your strata will find it hard to get timely repairs.
Since most businesses are conscious of keeping COVID safe, how about asking them if they have a COVID plan. Don’t use the ones without a plan but let the ones who do self regulate.
If you are still concerned ask for their COVID plan, and then do a short audit when they attend.
