The country’s top doctor is advising Canadians that the use of non-medical masks while in public may prove helpful in stopping the spread of COVID-19.
Dr. Theresa Tam says while information is still being gathered on the virus and how it’s spread, there is mounting evidence of pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission of the virus.
That’s prompted her to advise that the use of non-medical facial masks could stop a person who unknowingly has the virus from spreading it to others in public.
