Need to Remain Vigilant

Today’s number of new cases may be the lowest in a week, but it’s important not to get complacent with precautions for COVID-19.  It’s as important as ever to stay home whenever possible, and to avoid close contact (a minimum of two metres) with others to prevent spreading the virus.

People who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, travellers returning from international destinations, including the United States, and those who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 are required to self isolate under the current public health order.

There are reports of people across the province disregarding these directives, which will only increase the amount of time it takes to flatten the curve.  Do your part to help protect yourself, your neighbours and your community.

How to Protect Yourself and Others

·         Practice proper cough and sneezing etiquette (into the bend of your elbow);

·         Wash your hands often with soap and water;

·         If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer;

·         Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands;

·         Maintain safe food practices;

·         Avoid close contact with people who are sick;

·         Avoid unnecessary travel – inside and outside your community;
