The new coronavirus is basically transmitted through droplets when an inflamed user coughs or sneezes over another user or object. People don’t want the symptoms to be contagious.
This means physical distance measures such as running from home, gathering other people outdoors as much as you can imagine and staying away from anyone they don’t live with or don’t have in their circle, adding when they’re dressed in a mask.
Masks are now mandatory in public places closed to eastern Ontario and Quebec, where transit officials and taxi drivers must now deny access to users over the age of 12 who refuse to wear one.
The masks are also outdoors when you can’t stay at the right distance from others.
