Ottawa Public Health has said even asymptomatic people can spread COVID-19 and masks help limit transmission where staying two metres apart isn't always possible. 1:11'Racism is a public health issue'Brent Moloughney, associate medical officer of health with Ottawa Public Health, said demonstrators should take precautions given the presence of COVID-19.
