Alberta - Ca/masks: Safely Putting A Mask On

They should be used in addition to proper hygiene and physical distancing, especially in indoor public places where keeping distance is difficult. Masks do not replace good hygiene, distancing, or isolation, but can provide an extra layer of protection for source control.
