Canadas Top Health Officer Doctor Recommends 3-Layer Medical Mask

Posted November 3 2020

Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam made the recommendation during her bi-weekly pandemic briefing in Ottawa Tuesday.

“To improve the level of protection that can be provided by non-medical masks or face coverings, we are recommending that you consider a three-layer nonmedical mask” she said

According to the recently updated guidelines two layers of the mask should be a really thick material and the middle layer should be a filter-type fabric.

“We are not saying you should throw everything that you have,” said Tam. She just recommends that we add a filtering layer.

She also urged Canadians to wear well-fitted masks that cover the nose, mouth, and chin without leaving gaps

Whats your opinion on the three-layer mask?
