Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam is advising Canadians to continue to wear a mask, regardless of varying jurisdictional guidelines, as the country sees a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.
“Let me just emphasize all across Canada, doesn't matter where you are, it’s very likely that the Omicron variant, the BA.2 sub-lineage is spreading quite widely in your community. So doesn't matter where you are in Canada right now, I would advise getting that booster shot, masking and improving ventilation,” she said.
