As Ontario’s top doctor urged the use of masks for citizens, the comments are being echoed by local medical officers of health.
Dr. Miriam Klassen, Huron-Perth’s Medical Officer says she strongly recommends residents to mask in all indoor public settings including schools and childcare settings.
Huron Perth Public Health says they have received several reports of children under 5 years old having the flu, as they don’t typically see this number of confirmed cases of influenza in children this young.
Masking has also been strongly recommended by Dr. Nicola Mercer, Medical Officer of Health and CEO for Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health.
