Intense storms must be challenging for marine mammals to survive. @CBCQuirks reached out to Rhonda Reidy of the @JuanesLab at @uvic to answer a listener’s question:

Masking if you travelled internationally is a federal government rule, it is required to mask for 14 days upon re-entry into the country while in public places both indoors our outdoors, this applies to k-12 schools and daycares. This is for ALL of Canada. #bced #MaskUp

The Board of Governors voted not to accept the recommendation presented by Senate. We continue to encourage everyone to wear masks in indoor spaces where you may be in close proximity to others, or anywhere you feel more comfortable to do so. ow.ly/xlHv50Iuv1K

Still waiting for that PM, @sd61schools Let us get those CR-box filters into our classrooms. You have parents willing and able to crowd-fund and crowd-build. Cost is only $5 per student. Just say yes!
Even if late, this is a small step in the right direction. Would have been great for science classes to build #corsirosenthalbox for the school and use the money saved for #N95 for staff and students. #CovidisAirborne #bced newwestrecord.ca/coronavirus… via @TheRecord
