詹嘉禮市議員 ： COVID-19每日更新 – 2020年5月20日
昨天，我有幸在今天向加拿大公共僱員工會Local 79的主席 Dave Mitchell 再次提供5000個口罩。
Local79工會的一直為我們的社區服務。它的成員肩負著營運市內托兒所、照顧病人和護理院內長者以及執行建築和安全規例等工作。他們在COVID-19疫情期間每天都不辭勞苦地服務著我們。
佩戴口罩
聯邦、省和市政府在今天宣佈了有關市民在無法保持社交距離的環境下佩戴口罩的建議。
多倫多公共衛生部表示，在電梯、超市、商店、公共交通工具、共享出租車等無法保持社交距離的環境下佩戴口罩可保護他人免受病毒感染。
口罩或面罩應:
• 能夠暢通呼吸
• 有頭索和耳圈可以把口罩固定在頭部上
• 洗滌和乾燥後不會變形
• 包括至少兩層緊密編織的棉或亞麻布
• 沒有裂口以及完全遮住口鼻
請勿與他人共用同一口罩。在每次使用後，布口罩應用洗衣機高溫循環設定清洗，而一次性口罩則不能重新使用。
不是每個人都應該戴口罩。其中包括兩歲以下的兒童、因身體狀況致使不能佩戴口罩，和在沒有幫助的情況下不能摘下口罩的人士。
一般市民不應佩戴醫用口罩，包括N-95口罩。 這些口罩是供醫護和前線工作人員使用的。
