On March 12, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) issued a direction in writing to the Canada Post Corporation (CPC) following an inspection conducted at the Montreal Bridge Depot, in Quebec
According to ESDC, Canada Post failed to ensure that the face coverings worn by employees were in compliance with the recommendations of the Public Health Agency of Canada, i.e. a two-layer face covering (or non-medical mask) with a third filtering layer or a medical mask, also known as a procedure mask (disposable blue mask).
As a result, ESDC issued a direction in writing instructing CPC to end the violation by March 31, 2021.
