Updates to Masking Policy for Jamatkhanas
December 27, 2021 | Canada
Due to the increased transmissibility of the new Omicron variant of COVID-19, starting Friday, December 31, those attending Jamatkhana are asked to use a 3-layer disposable (non-cloth based) mask OR a KN95/N95 mask.
When using a 3-layer disposable (non-cloth based) mask, ensure that it snugly covers your nose, mouth and chin.
Three-layer disposable as well as KN95/N95 masks are made based on filtration efficiency standards in place in Canada.
Cloth masks do not have equivalent national standards. In addition, single-layer cloth masks do not offer sufficient protection against the new variant of concern.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in helping to keep our Jamat and our communities safe during these unprecedented times.
