Premier Scott Moe came under fire this week after a photo-op where he was without a mask while in close contact with people outside of his bubble. "While we were outside and together only briefly to take the picture, I recognize that we should have stood further apart in order to practise proper physical distancing," Moe said in a written statement.

"I wonder if anyone washed their hands because they aren't social distancing or wearing a mask in close proximity of others.
