Reduce Virus Spread

You should get tested for COVID-19 if you have one or more symptoms of COVID-19, you were a close contact of someone who has COVID-19 or you are concerned you may have been exposed to someone who might have COVID-19.

Tips to Prevent the Spread

Avoid close contact and keep a distance of two metres (six feet) from others. Everyone has a role to play. The actions you take will protect you, loved ones and those most vulnerable in our community.

The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed:

• Limit non-essential trips out of your home
• Keep two metres (six feet) distance from others
• Wear a mask or face covering in indoor public spaces and when you can’t keep physical distance
• Clean your hands often. Use soap and water or an alcohol-based (70-90 per cent) hand sanitizer
• Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
• Cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow or a tissue. Immediately throw the tissue in the garbage and wash your hands.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Stay home if you are feeling unwell
• Download the COVID Alert app  so you can be notified directly if you have been in close contact with someone who was contagious with COVID-19
