As of today, if you’re in an enclosed public space in the Thunder Bay district, you’ll need to wear a mask. One question a lot of people have, is what exactly is an enclosed public space? The Thunder Bay District Health Unit defines it as follows:
“Enclosed public space” means indoor public spaces of businesses and organizations that are accessed by the public. For example, restaurants, retail establishments, churches, libraries, sports facilities, waiting rooms, public and private transportation and personal service settings are all “enclosed public spaces”. Schools, child care centres, day camps, and other indoor spaces not accessible to the public (e.g. residential buildings or condominiums) are not considered an enclosed public space.
There’s a lot more to learn for the public (including who is exempt from wearing a mask) and for businesses. Check out some of the handy tips at the links below, courtesy of the TBDHU.
