RE - The mask debate is over

Tom Nolan | Jul 15, 2020

Just read your editorial about face masks in the July 10 edition.

The second paragraph is incorrect -

“As a cluster of cases ensued, a Section 22 order under the Public Health Aid made KFL&A the only region in Ontario where masks must be worn in all commercial establishments.”

We are summer (cottage) residents in Central Frontenac, and are originally from South Frontenac, currently living in Guelph.

We have been wearing face masks for nearly one month.

This is taken from the WDG (Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph) public health website -

“Effective 12:01 a.m. on June 12, 2020, any customer, patron, employee or visitor, who enters a commercial establishment in the WDG region is required to wear a face covering while inside the establishment. More details and exemptions below.”

We enjoy reading your paper and offer this feedback as clarification, not criticism.
