The Ontario government said on Wednesday that it will be lifting the mask mandate in many indoor public settings on March 21. Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, said the mask mandate will remain in place for higher-risk settings such as transit, long-term care, retirement homes, hospitals, shelters, jails and congregate care and living settings. The province will remove masking requirements in all remaining settings, as well as any other directives and orders, on April 27.
