Medical Officer of Health Suggests to Wear Masks At All Times

Ottawa’s medical officer of health strongly suggests for residents to wear masks outdoors at all times as the infection rate continues to climb.

On Wednesday, Dr. Vera Etches said that the risk of community spread is higher than ever and suggested that people should wear their masks outside their homes at all times.

Etches said, “People should wear masks when they’re outside of their house as much as possible. It’s an added barrier. You don’t know if you’re going to come into close contact with someone or not.”
