Advice on masks from Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry:
“The thing about masks is we know that they are very important in certain situations. If I'm sick, my wearing a mask
keeps my droplets in. It does help prevent transmission to other people. That's why we ask somebody who's sick, who's
going to an emergency department, for example, if you have a cough or respiratory symptoms, we ask you to put on a
mask and clean
your hands. Where it's not known is how effective wearing a mask in the community is when you are not sick yourself.
The masks may give you a false sense of security. The most important thing that you can do in the community is to wash
your hands regularly.”
