‘Wearing masks is an important tool…to help keep us safe,’ says B.C. Doctors
VANCOUVER—BC Doctors are applauding B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer on stating that wearing masks when out in public spaces is an expectation.
Dr. Bonnie Henry made the statement in yesterday’s Oct.27 address to British Columbians after 817 new cases of COVID-19 were reported over the weekend.
“We all have a responsibility to protect not just ourselves, but those around us who are vulnerable.”—Dr Kathleen Ross, President of Doctors of BC
“We believe, and the evidence shows, that wearing masks is an important tool in our toolbox to help us stay safe. It is critically important to practice good hygiene and keep physical distance, but wearing masks adds another layer of defense,” adds Ross.
