    This is what the current Public Health Order says:
    Masks
    Masks must be worn in indoor areas (other than places of residence), indoor common property on residential premises, public transport waiting areas/vehicles/vessels, while working in hospitality and dealing directly with members of the public, and on domestic commercial aircraft. Teachers and staff must wear masks at schools. Certain exceptions apply.
    Fully vaccinated persons in office buildings are not required to wear masks, except in a part of a building that is a retail premises, hospitality or an indoor recreation facility.

    So it’s only double-vaxxed workers who are not dealing with the public who aren’t required to wear masks in offices.  I suppose it’s because residents of apartment blocks can’t be asked their vaccination status, that they are required to wear masks.

    By the way, the PHO says this about failure to wear masks when you are supposed to:

    … on the spot fines can be issued to individuals and corporations for a breach of an Order relating to not wearing or carrying a mask:

    • $40 for a person aged 15 and under

    • $80 for a person aged 16-17

    • $500 for a person aged 18 and above

    The problem is, who polices this?  Not the strata committee or strata managers and probably not even the police.
