Canada requires air passengers to wear masks to curb coronavirus
Transport Canada said on Friday that all airline passengers would be required to wear a non-medical mask or face covering during travel to curb the spread of coronavirus.
The regulator said travellers must cover their mouth and nose during the boarding process and flights. The rule goes into effect at noon ET on Monday.
Air Canada, the country's largest carrier, had previously recommended that customers wear a face-covering over their mouth and noses while onboard its flights.
