OTTAWA, Canada — Covid-19 public health restrictions, including mask mandates, will continue being lifted across Canada in the coming weeks as Ontario’s chief medical officer of health confirmed Wednesday the province will drop its mask mandate on March 21.
Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health of Ontario, the province with the largest population in Canada, said in a statement that the government will remove the mandatory masking requirement for most settings on that day, with the exception of select settings such as public transit, health care settings, long-term care homes and congregate care settings.
Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam said Friday that federal agencies overseeing masking mandates in Canada for things like domestic travel were evaluating the situation and could make policy adjustments as needed in the coming days and weeks.
