Please indicate when the PHO will remove the mandatory mask requirement. The WHO recently released revised information on asymptomatic spread, indicating that the spread of the virus in this manner is now considered very rare. Since this was the original justification by the PHO to make masks mandatory, now that the WHO position is changed will the mask order change as well to reflect the most recent data? Of not, why?
