Allegations of “strong evidence” for mandatory cloth masks worn by healthy ppl in public by @patrickbrownont @BonnieCrombie are absolutely false. Their decision is political. It is NOT based on known published scientific evidence on #COVID19. Here is recent Lancet systemic review 
2/Even in remarks made by Peel Public Health Officer Dr Loh, he stated evidence not definitive. I must remind residents that the same Officer prev told Peel frontline HCWs w/COVID19 to return to work w/out 14d self-isolation d/t politics, not evidence. This is again more politics
3/ These politicians even admit they are acting based on public opinion. Public Health policy must NEVER be politicized—esp NEVER any mandatory actions. This is not science. Peel PH’s own study recently found 87% of #COVID19 cases are in healthcare setting

4/ @patrickbrownont claims it’s “data driven”—explicitly states he asked public if this is necessary & ppl “believe” it is right thing to do. Dr Loh @regionofpeel states they’re doing “public surveys”. @BonnieCrombie states “residents asking for it”. This is POLITICS. Not science
