A week after anti-mask groups rode the TTC without face coverings to protest against new city bylaws requiring them, the same groups are now making "exemption cards" that claim they are medically exempt from wearing face coverings. The Canadian Red Cross says the cards contain a version of the organization's emblem that is being used without permission. The city did not immediately respond to requests for comment about how it will handle these "exemption" cards. "It makes sense to wear a mask, and for people to make these cards, it's pretty insulting," he said. A recent World Health Organization study has confirmed that face masks are effective in reducing the spread of the virus.
