Canada’s new respirator standard (CSA Z94.4-25) is a major step forward in protecting healthcare workers — but it’s facing opposition.

WHN strongly supports this science-based policy and urges others to submit a public comment before the August 19 deadline.
Header (large white bold text): "Canada’s new respirator standard could save lives — but it’s under threat." Subtext (white): "CSA Z94.4-25 establishes that all healthcare workers must wear respirators (minimum PL1) in healthcare facilities and during delivery of care, except in designated low-risk zones determined by qualified airborne transmission risk assessment." Footer question (bright pink bold): "So why is there a petition trying to block it?" Logo: whn.global Main body (white text): "The World Health Network is committed to supporting public understanding and institutional adoption of CSA Z94.4-25. We invite other organizations, health professionals, and workers to join us in endorsing this standard as a vital tool for workplace safety and public health." Final paragraph (white and pink): "Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is accepting public comments on the draft Z94.4-25 standard through August 19, 2025. See caption for WHN’s full statement and how to take action." Footer link (white text): whn.global/whn-response-to-canadas-csa-z94-4-25-respirator-standard/ Logo: whn.global

There is no logical, economic, ethical, or health basis to be restricting access to covid vaccinations. Not one.

Up to date covid vaccination massively reduce risk of immediate (acute) serious illness, hospitalization and death, AND they appear to reduce risk of long covid by 50%.

While vaccination decreases the severity of acute COVID-19 and the rate of hospitalisation and death, it does not alter the subsequent neurologic manifestations of Long COVID

We can choose to wear a mask to protect our health and the health of others. We can clean the air. We can stay home when sick.

We can lobby governments for better COVID policy AND better social supports for disabled people. 

We can demand accountability and transparency.

It’s not too late.
