COVID-19 Information

Maintain healthy everyday habits:

Hand washing

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you’ve been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Use hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol) when you can’t use soap and water and make sure you follow hand washing guidelines.

Cough and Sneeze Etiquette

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Or use the inside of your elbow. Make sure you follow cough and sneeze guidelines.

Mask Wearing

Wear a mask in most indoor public spaces, if required by a business or workplace and when you can’t maintain a physical distance of 2 metres (6 feet) from others. You can spread COVID-19 to others even if you don’t feel sick. Wearing a mask helps protect you and those around you.

Social Distancing

Limit your contact with other people and keep a physical distance of 2 metres (6 feet) from others.

Keep your close social group of 10 consistent, as much as possible. Make sure you follow social distancing guidelines.

Staying Home

Stay at home if you’re sick to avoid spreading illness to others. You should also stay home if think you’ve been exposed to COVID-19. You could be carrying the virus without knowing it.
