Preventive measures such as physical distancing have been adopted by Quebecers since the outbreak of the COVID-19, but the wearing of reusable masks appears to be the least popular among them based on a new poll.
The poll which was released by the Canadian Medical Association also suggests young people are less likely to wear a mask.
Around 70% of respondents shared that they practiced two meters of physical distancing, compared with 95% who frequently wash their hands, and 90% who cough into their elbow.
Only 42% of those polled stated that they regularly wear a face mask in public. That number plummeted to 27% among people ages 18 to 34. Around 87% of people in that age demographic stated that they do not consider themselves at risk of developing severe complications associated with coronavirus.
