An anti-mask activist from Ontario was arrested at the Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport Friday and is now facing charges. In the video, Saccoccia can be seen holding what he claims to be a "note from a medical professional" in a verbal exchange with a WestJet flight attendant. RCMP in New Brunswick confirm a man was arrested at the airport Friday afternoon after arriving on a flight from Ontario. Friday was the first day non-medical face masks became mandatory in most indoor public places in New Brunswick. Medical professionals point to strong evidence that non-medical face masks are highly effective in reducing the spread of COVID-19.
