The COVID-19 pandemic

Good. Now only If they enforce it and start handing them out fines to those on transit or in stores.

I haven't watched the recording yet, but I heard some of the anti mask people who called in were quite amusing with their excuses against it.

I was just reading a CTV news article (https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/face-coveri...-1.5014175), and it looks like there is a loophole in the policy wide enough to drive a carnival cruise ship through it.

The exemptions include:

• Kids under five;
  
• Those who have a medical condition or disability that would prevent them from being able to wear masks;
  
• A person engaged in a sport or other strenuous physical activity (including those doing physical activity at gyms, once they reopen in phase three);
  
• Someone assisting or accommodating someone with hearing loss or a hearing disability; and
  
• People who are consuming food or drink as part of a religious activity in a place of worship.
  

Regional officials say that someone who is unable to wear a mask does not have to provide proof that that's the case.

So all they have to say is "I have a medical condition" and that's it.

As far as I am concerned, they should get their doctor to send a request to Waterloo Regional Health, who should provide them with an exception card or something if asked by bylaw.
