Fake mask exception cards are being distributed across the province.
A Canadian flag appears in the right-hand corner with a message below that states “I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing a mask or face covering.”
A phone number for the Canadian Human Rights Commission appears on the back of the cards, but a spokesperson for the commission says “these cards are fake” and in no way authorized by the organization.
The cards were made by various protest groups including Mothers Against Distancing and Hugs Not Masks.
Masks are now mandatory in all indoor public spaces in Simcoe County and Muskoka.

Hey Toronto!
So this anti-mask group (made up of 30 people) has been trying to hand out fraudulent medical cards.
Please report the cards if you see them. You are still in your right to not allow someone not wearing a face covering into your place of business. Please RT. pic.twitter.com/O2Vw2qUt0y— Epic Game Music (@epicgamemusic) July 13, 2020
