  • Anyone with respiratory symptoms in the previous 10 days should wear a mask indoors with other people.

  • Individuals at higher risk for severe outcomes from respiratory illness (for example, people who are immunocompromised) may want to wear a mask while indoors with others.

Domestic travel

  • Proof of vaccination and wearing masks are no longer required to travel on planes or trains in Canada.

  • Wearing high-quality masks while in transit is still recommended.
