If Health PEI has a mandatory masking rule, but the receptionist is unmasked, the nurse told you "I lost my mask so you can take yours off", and the doctor is wearing a baggy mask that is not N-95, does Health PEI have a mandatory masking rule?

Earlier this year a group of government and CAF officials, plus health care leaders, gathered for only the second war games involving Canada’s health care system since 1939. It was more urgent, and less hypothetical. And it became a question about national resolve. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
Can Canada’s health system survive if we find ourselves at war?
The country at war would be more than just the logistics of hospitals and ambulances and doctors and nurses. It could become something Canada has rarely faced: a true test
