How you can help reduce risks
Follow healthy hygiene practices:
- Clean your hands often
- Limit time with others as much as possible
- Cover your mouth and nose with a face mask
- Regularly self-monitor for any symptoms
- Maintain 6 feet distance as work duties permit
- Greet with a wave instead of a handshake, a kiss or a hug
- Avoid sharing any objects that cannot be easily cleaned (headsets, etc.)
If possible:
- Stay home as much as possible, including for meals and entertainment
- Shop or take public transportation during off-peak hours
- Use technology to keep in touch with friends and family outside your household
- Use food delivery services or online shopping
- Exercise at home or outside away from others.
If you think you have COVID-19:
- Separate yourself from others as soon as you have symptoms
- If you are outside the home when a symptom develops, go home immediately and avoid taking public transit
- Stay home and follow the advice of your Public Health Authority, who may recommend isolation
- Call ahead to a health care provider if you are ill and seeking medical attention
- Call your supervisor and do not go to work if you are sick
