Canadians Are Being Asked To Wear Masks When Venturing Outside

Canadians are being urged to wear a non-surgical mask if you have to venture outside the home. The recommendation was made by chief medical health officer Dr. Theresa Tam based on a special advisory committee on COVID-19. During her daily briefing in Ottawa, Dr. Tam says using a non-surgical mask may not protect the person wearing it, but it will help others, and may protect surfaces from contamination.
