Wear a mask. Dr. Tam officially advised Canadians to wear masks when they can’t be certain of keeping a two-metre distance from others. Tam told reporters on Wednesday that the policy on masks has shifted from “permissive” to a “specific recommendation.” Dr. Abdu Sharkawy, an infectious disease expert, said Canadians should not ease up on other restrictions when wearing a mask: “No one is saying that masks are a substitute for other very prudent measures to avoid acquiring the infection and transmitting the infection.”
