Quebec Public Health today recommended that the population resume wearing a mask in crowded public places.
Kindergartens and schools are exempt from this recommendation.
It should be emphasized that this is not an obligation, but only a recommendation to curb the transmission of infectious respiratory diseases. The other day, Prime Minister Legault ruled out imposing a requirement to wear protective masks indoors.
The College of Physicians of Quebec has recommended wearing a mask indoors from Sunday, November 13.
Christian Dubé, Quebec’s health minister, is concerned about the three viruses now circulating in Quebec: COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza.
The Quebec hospital’s emergency departments are currently nearly 120 percent occupied.
