Some Detroit Three automakers are relaxing some COVID-19 health and safety policies now that Ontario has dropped its mask mandate.
General Motors Canada said in a statement to Automotive News Canada that it has made “mask use optional in all locations outside of Quebec, where masks are still required by the province.”
“This change is a result of improving COVID-19 conditions and updated public-health guidance,” GM Canada spokesman Monte Doran said in an email. “Our policy for employees to be fully vaccinated or have an approved exemption remains in place at this time.”
GM employs about 3,800 people at two plants in Ontario.
