Be informed about the use of non-medical facemasks
"Canadians should wear non-medical masks when physical distancing is not possible. Non-medical face masks are a supplementary measure to be used when physical distancing is not possible. Hygiene measures, such as frequent handwashing, and staying at home as much as possible, are still necessary.” -
Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, May 21, 2020
Wearing a homemade facial covering/non-medical mask in the community has not been proven to protect the person wearing it and is not a substitute for physical distancing and hand washing. Read the Government of Canada's official notice, here.
