City of Ottawa 'seriously exploring' making masks mandatory indoors: Etches
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Vera Etches told reporters on Monday she is speaking with Mayor Jim Watson and city officials on a possible approach to make face masks mandatory, and an update will be provided by the end of the week
The latest round of Ottawa Public Health’s (OPH) engagement surveys with residents shows that 71 per cent of residents said they wore masks most of the time or always when in indoor public spaces in the past week.
Earlier surveys showed 90 per cent of residents agreed or strongly agreed to requiring masks to access certain services and 75 per cent indicated similar support for wearing a mask at work.
Some Ontario cities, including Kingston, Guelph and Wellington County, have instituted rules requiring masks in commercial settings in recent weeks. Others, such as Waterloo Region, are still debating the measure.
