Añoranza, AnZIHadad y Esperanza

Thanks for the responses. As I noted, in most places in Canada, masks are mandated in all public indoor spaces, (stores, banks, doctors' offices, etc), but not outdoors, unless where there are large gatherings. And since all large gatherings, in or outdoors, are prohibited, mask-wearing outdoors is basically non-existent. Like everyone else, we can't wait to get out of stores, so we can remove our masks.
Obviously, Mexican society is different: where we tend to travel by car to large shopping centres, leaving most streets empty of pedestrians most of the time, (and particularly so during a Canadian winter), Mexican life is lived outside and on the streets, where physical distancing is difficult, if not impossible. Hence a requirement to either wear a mask outdoors, or at least have one at the ready.
