Ontario is currently facing a surge in COVID-19 cases driven by new variants, particularly the B.1.1.7 or UK variant.
The outbreak is primarily originating in workplaces that remain open, such as manufacturing factories and distribution centers, leading to high rates of infection.
A proposed solution to counter the surge in cases is to mandate the use of N95 or better masks in all currently open workplaces in Ontario with more than 20-30 employees.

A contact budget is an upper limit on the number of contacts you should have during a pandemic to manage the risk of getting infected with Covid-19.
Events like going to the movies or a restaurant significantly increase the number of people you have contact with, which should be budgeted.
It's important to trade-off activities and be mindful of managing contacts, even if exact calculations are challenging. Each decision to reduce risk, like wearing masks or socializing outdoors, adds to overall safety.

Being outdoors is not a guarantee of protection from coronavirus; maintain social distancing and wear masks even outside.
A negative COVID test does not mean you are safe; continue following preventive measures like wearing masks, distancing, and hand-washing.
Creating a safe pod requires strict adherence to quarantine, risk mitigation rules, and avoiding contact with other people.

Countries like China, South Korea, and Italy use various temperature-checking methods on a large scale, such as handheld thermometers, infrared imaging scanners, and even specialized glasses for detecting body temperatures.

Infectious disease experts have been following a rule of thumb that particles larger than 5 microns fall to the ground, affecting how they understand virus transmission.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is about the same size as other viruses considered to be transmitted by droplets, leading to assumptions about its spread.
There is a call for a scientific audit in the field of infectious diseases to review what is known and ensure information is up-to-date.
