Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said on Monday the recent change to guidelines around wearing masks and saying people could wear non-medical masks to help protect others was made after the release of new studies surrounding asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission. She said masks can be made using bandanas or other cloth-like material, suggesting someone could even cut up a T-shirt, fold it and then wrap elastic bands around it.
