COVID-19 Tips
As the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, continues to spread, it’s important to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family from contracting the virus.
Here are some tips to help keep you safe:
1. Wash your hands frequently. This is one of the most important things you can do to prevent the spread of any virus. Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
2. Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose or mouth. This is another way to reduce your risk of contracting the virus.
3. Wear a face mask when in public. This can help protect you from contracting the virus if someone near you is infected.
4. Practice social distancing. Minimize close contact with people and keep a distance of at least 2 metres when possible.
5. Disinfect frequently touched surfaces. Make sure to regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, countertops, and other items that you and other people may have touched.
6. Get tested: If you think you may have been exposed to the virus, get tested and follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.
