Health Minister Christine Elliott says the province will be leaving it up to retailers to decide whether to compel people in their stores to wear masks.
Elliot made the comment when asked today about an outbreak of COVID-19 at a Home Depot location in Richmond Hill.
A Home Depot Canada spokesperson says 14 associates at the store have tested positive for the virus and are currently ``in quarantine.''
York Region Public Health says it believes the risk to the public is low but anyone with close interactions with staff between May 30th and June 9th should watch for symptoms.
