Mask mandate will likely be lifted in schools when it is removed for wider public: Ontario top doc

Ontario’s mask mandate will likely be lifted in schools when it is removed for most public spaces, the province’s top doctor says.Dr. Kieran Moore made the comment during his weekly COVID-19 update Thursday, but noted that masking requirements will remain in place “for the time being.”“Making does remain an important tool in our tool box and even when it’s no longer required in public settings, it will continue to be an effective tool for reducing transmission and protecting those recovering from illness, their close contacts, and those who may be more vulnerable to severe COVID-19 infection,” Moore said.“Some in our communities may also choose to continue wearing them regularly and we need to be respectful of individual choices once masking is no longer required.” Ontario mask mandate will likely be reviewed in March, top doctor says Moore was asked by a reporter whether all masking requirements would be removed at the same time, or if it would be phased and if so, where schools stood on that list.“The consultations have started and we will be working with school boards, with parents, with the ministries and make a decision together,” he said.
