Speaking to reporters in Ottawa Wednesday, Trudeau called it a
“personal choice” that is in line with advice from public health
experts. Still, keeping socially distant, staying home when sick, and
washing one’s hands remain “the best thing” for Canadians to keep doing
to stem the spread of COVID-19, he said.
“But in situations where you cannot physically distance to two metres… people are encouraged to wear masks,” he said.
Trudeau said he chose to start wearing a face-covering when he comes into closer proximity with people, be it walking the halls of Parliament or heading to his office.
“Once I am at my desk in Parliament and two metres separate from everyone else, I will take off my mask so I can engage in parliamentary discourse. But as soon as I leave my seat and walk past people, and walk through potentially busier hallways, I will be wearing a mask,” he said.
“That is my personal choice. That is aligned, I think, with what public health is recommending. I think we all need to adjust to what works in our circumstances and keep safety at the forefront of what we are doing.”
