Calgary council has passed a new bylaw requiring people to wear masks in all indoor public buildings and public transit in the city.
It means masks will be mandated in all City of Calgary buildings, buses, trains, taxis, malls, and grocery stores. It applies to all members of the public and employees who are in public areas of buildings who are not able to properly distance. Face masks are not necessary if a person is separated from another person by a shield or plastic barrier.
There are also exceptions for children under the age of two, people with an underlying health condition or disability inhibiting them from wearing a mask, people who are drinking or eating in a restaurant or bar, or people working out or playing sports.
