Ontario residents are more likely to wear a mask and wash hands than those in other regions of Canada. This is based on a new survey.
Based on a report by Canada’s national statistics agency, around 78% stated that they would wear a face mask if physical distancing were not possible. Less than 70% of respondents from other regions shared that they would wear a mask in crowded areas.
The majority of Ontario respondents shared that they have been avoiding large gatherings and remaining two meters away from others.
It was also discovered by Statistic Canada that Canadians living in rural areas were less likely to report that they would wear masks in public compared to those residing in urban areas.
In one survey, it was found out that around 38% of Canadian workers reported not feeling safe enough to return to work due to the pandemic.
Men were generally less likely than women to report whether they would follow the health precautions. Young Canadians between 15 and 24 were less likely to report whether would wear a mask or observe physical distancing from others.
