The majority of Calgarians are following the city’s temporary mandatory mask bylaw, according to a new report.
According to a city survey of 500 Calgarians, around 89% of the city’s population stated that they wear a mask in public and confined indoor spaces like shopping malls and grocery stores.
A greater number of residents are wearing masks on Calgary Transit. The survey results also show overwhelming support for mandated masking among 88% of respondents.
The temporary bylaw requires mask-use in all public indoor spaces, including malls, grocery stores, city-owned buildings, retail businesses, and places of worship. The exemptions include children under the age of two, people with underlying medical conditions, and people who are unable to put on or remove a mask without assistance.
Masks are not required while seated at a table at restaurants or bars, however, a face-covering is mandatory when customers are not seated.
