When will someone sue the hospitals to get the masks off the employees??? It seems like we are federal employees living and breathing CDC guidelines and the science for wearing a surgical mask to avoid covid 19 is bogus. Chain link fence analogy ignored but so true. Wearing an N95 all day is unhealthy and nobody seems to care. It's not science based. I also continue to have sores on my face even with new masks. Where are the challengers???? Healthcare employees are trapped for fear of job loss and income destabilization

But did they cancel/ reverse that law that allowed this or just "suspended" (until further notice)?

First off, all the Federal rules/restrictions were through Order in Council - essentially the same as a Presidential Executive Order: not law but can have the force of law. Second, our Federal health minister, Jean-Yves Duclos made it crystal clear that any/all rules/restrictions could be brought back at any time; no promises of ‘never again’ or anything like that. Meanwhile, government lawyers are arguing that a certain federal court case should be dismissed because it is now moot, as restrictions have been lifted and plaintiffs have the relief they sought. Plaintiff attorneys argue that a judicial ruling is necessary since Duclos et al have said they can bring back the same restrictions in the future. Government attorney rebuttal to that argument was that Duclos (or any other government spokesman) were making “political” statements that cannot be relied upon because those statements are not legal in nature. Let that sink in for a minute. A ruling on whether this case proceeds is still pending, to my knowledge.
