Stop The Spread
Let's Stop the Spread:
- Maintain 2 meters distance with people outside of your household
- Stay home as much as you can
- Limit out of household activities, unless necessary
- Visit grocery stores one per week, less if possible
- Try curbside pickup at retailers that offer the service
Social Distancing:
Daily Precautions to Take:
- Wash your hands with soap often
- Sanitize frequently (at least 60% alcohol)
- Avoid contact with out of household individuals
- Stay home if you are sick and showing symptoms of COVID-19
- Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow (immediately dispose of said tissue in the garbage)
- Refrain from touching your eyes, ears, and mouth with unwashed hands
How and When to Wear Non-Medical Masks:
- Ensure the mask is clean, dry, and does not have any holes/rips
- Wash hands or sanitize before and after touching the mask
- Use the ear loops to secure the mask and fully cover your nose and mouth
- Replace or wash the used mask once it becomes wet or dirty
- Wear the face-mask or covering anytime in a public space
The Basics of Self-Isolating:
- Self-isolating means staying home to prevent the spread of COVID-19
- It is recommended that you self-isolate at your home if:
a) You are in an at-risk group (e.g. immuno-compromised)
b) You are showing symptoms of COVID-19
c) You have traveled out of province or out of the country recently
d) You have come into contact with someone infected with COVID-19
e) You have come into contact with someone who has traveled out of province or out of the country recently
