The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones and family during the pandemic is to stay home when sick, wear your mask when around anyone outside of your household, and get VACCINATED.

Proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of infection or spreading infection to others:

o use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available

• when coughing or sneezing:
o cough or sneeze into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand
o dispose of any tissues you have used as soon as possible in a lined waste basket and wash your hands afterwards

• avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. This means do not touch your face if you are out and about.

• clean the following high-touch surfaces frequently with regular household cleaners (eg lysol wipes) or diluted bleach (1 part bleach to 9 parts water):
o toys
o toilets
o phones
o electronics
o door handles

When meeting other people at an event or at work
• discourage attendees from sharing food or drinks
• increase social distance between others (ideally to 6 feet- 2 metres) 

 

Stay healthy! Don't stress - go for walks outside there are lots of trails. You are unlikely to get it walking in nature.
