Two government sources say Ontario’s top doctor will recommend the public begin masking on Monday in an effort to help overwhelmed children’s hospitals.
The sources, who are speaking on condition of anonymity, say there will be no mask mandate.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore has said this fall and winter would see a resurgence of respiratory illnesses and he would recommend masking in certain indoor settings if hospitals began cancelling surgeries to deal with a surge of patients.
