Dr. Keiran Moore stopped short of a mask mandate but urges people who are sick to wear masks in their own homes to protect young child and the elderly from infection
An Ontario health-care worker told a Toronto reporter Monday that anyone who has seen a child gasping for air will immediately put aside any selfish thoughts about not wearing a mask to do whatever it takes to see that child get better.
Moore outlined his concerns at a Queen's Park news conference Monday in response to what he said is the triple-threat of respiratory illness caused by influenza, RSV and COVID-19. And while Moore has strongly encouraged residents to begin masking as a way to stave off obvious infections, he did not call for a masking mandate. "Influenza activity is increasing across Ontario.
Moore said the flu season is expected to peak in mid-December and that makes it urgent now to get a flu shot. Moore said the thing to remember is that cold symptoms are similar to symptoms of the flu or RSV, which can easily be transmitted to a child.
