The mask mandate isn't about compliance, it's to stop/reduce the spread from people who don't know they have covid by making sure anyone who could potentially have it is taking precautions not to spread it
Everytime I go out, there's always at least 1 person not wearing a mask, could that person have covid and not know it? there's a possibility of yes
I understand where you are coming from from asymptotic people shedding virus (or people who are symptomatic going out in public), but what I’m not understanding is what you think expanding the mask mandate from hot spot, municipal regions to more rural environments that don’t seem to be having near the scale of issues will do. Has anyone seen exponential growth risk in more rural, non-mask mandated locations in Alberta?
