The Province is at a critical time for containment of COVID-19 and steps need to be taken to prevent the spread of the virus in our community.
Guidelines from Northern Health and Health Canada include:
- Increased cleaning and sterilization of surfaces
- covering the mouth and nose during coughing or sneezing with a tissue or a flexed elbow and disposing of used tissues in a plastic-lined waste container, followed by hand washing,
- hand washing with plain soap and water or a hand sanitizing gel that is at least 70% alcohol
- anyone who is ill or has symptoms (sore throat, fever, cough, fatigue, and/or muscle aches) should stay home.
