to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the Transportation Ministry announced Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also: <\/strong><a

flights for refusing to use mask.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the first fines inflicted in Canada since the adoption of a decree that obliges people to wear a mask on airplanes, except to eat, drink or take medicine, according to a statement from the ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two incidents that led to the fines occurred in June and July on WestJet domestic flights, one between Calgary and Waterloo, and the other between Vancouver and Calgary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In both cases, the crew \u2026 asked people several times to wear a mask during the flights, and in both cases, people refused,&#8221; the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By <a
