In an attempt to help keep the number of COVID-19 cases in Canada low, face masks are officially required by law in several regions across Canada.
In Toronto, a bylaw that requires face masks to be worn in all indoor public places takes effect July 7. The city already requires people to wear masks on public transit.
The Quebec government announced that face masks will soon be mandatory on public transit. Public transit authorities in the Greater Montreal area – the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in Canada – have been handing out masks to commuters.
In early June, Montreal suburb Cote Saint-Luc passed a bylaw that makes wearing a mask mandatory in indoor public spaces such as stores and municipal buildings as of July 1.
