“Always be prepared, not scared” is our motto at Canada Masq. We believe that if our customers are well-informed, they can make informed decisions about their health and safety.
While political unrest and natural disasters are currently dominating media attention, it’s crucial not to overlook the rapidly increasing spread of respiratory diseases in Canada.
Here’s more you should pay attention:
BC mask mandate returns
The Ministry of Health said the requirement came into effect on Jan. 6, and everyone in health-care facilities, including staff, patients, visitors and volunteers, must wear medical masks “in areas where patients are actively seeking care.”
The move is in response to what the ministry says is a rise in influenza and RSV infections in B.C. COVID-19, it said, is “stable but showing early signs of an increase.”

Norovirus virus
Cases of Norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug, are reportedly on the rise in Canada, according to a doctor’s advice in a recent CTV News article. The virus typically manifests itself with symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, fever, and body aches. The virus is severe and highly contagious, often spreading in close quarters such as nursing homes, schools, and cruise ships. It’s particularly dangerous for the elderly, young children, and those with compromised immune systems. The doctor advises thorough handwashing and isolation of those infected to curb its spread.
