Wearing a non-medical face mask does not replace hygiene standards or guarantee protection from COVID-19. You should still avoid touching your face, wash your hands frequently using warm water and soap and practice social distancing.
As parts of Canada shift into new phases of COVID-19 protocols, it's important to for Canadians to remember that it's still possible to contract the virus and become very ill — even if you're vaccinated.
Although provinces are beginning to lift mask restrictions, many of us aren't quite ready to give up wearing protective face coverings in public.
Earlier this month, Canada’s deputy chief public health officer, Dr. Howard Njoo, said wearing a face mask is a “personal choice under one’s individual risk assessment."
Additionally, Dr. Theresa Tam, the country’s chief public health officer, recently urged Canadians not to stigmatize anyone chooses to wear a mask even after restrictions are lifted.
“Think about who you are with … maybe they’re at higher risk, so (have) that consideration for others," Tam said, reiterating that there are still people who remain vulnerable to COVID-19 and other illnesses.
