Practice Good Hygiene

• Wash your hands often. Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use a Health Canada approved hand sanitizer if you don’t have soap and water.
• Avoid touching your face.
• Practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette. Cough and sneeze into your sleeve or a tissue (immediately dispose of after use).
• Frequently clean and disinfect high-touch areas. This includes toilets, bedside tables, door handles, and other high-touch surfaces with diluted bleach or a Health Canada approved disinfectant.

Stay Home when Sick

• Stay at home and away from others if you are sick, unless it is to get medical attention.
• Avoid contact with people who are sick.

Physical Distancing

Limiting your physical contact with other people in order to stop, slow down or contain the spread of COVID-19.

Avoid crowds and maintain a 2 metre distance from other people.

• Work from home, where possible.
• Continue to shop online and use curbside pickup

Wear a Mask

• Wearing a non-medical face mask can help prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially when physical distancing is not possible. By wearing face masks, we can protect ourselves and others by reducing the spread of droplets, even if someone has no symptoms.

• A recommended mask is:
  • made of at least 2 layers of tightly woven material fabric (such as cotton or linen)
  • large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose and mouth without gaps
  • comfortable and does not require frequent adjustment

• Wearing a mask is not a substitute for physical distancing and hand washing.

Limit and Track your Contacts

• Keep your number of close contacts as low as possible.
• Download the free COVID Alert App from the Government of Canada
• Keep a log of when you go out in public and who you interact with.
