On Friday, November 6, 2020, the Ministry of Health issued an advisory regarding the mandatory use of masks in health care facilities and in the provision of health care services in the community. The College confirms this policy to apply to optometry offices as well. A medical mask looks like the picture on the BCCDC website http://www.bccdc.ca/Health-Professionals-Site/Documents/Face-masks.pdf and is readily available from your local suppliers. http://www.bccdc.ca/Health-Professionals-Site/Documents/Mask_Use_Health_Care_Facilities.pdf
