Description: Don't Let Your Guard Down
Against COVID-19
Until community immunity is achieved from vaccination, it’s important to continue following public health measures to keep yourself and others safe:
- Wear a well-constructed, well-fitting mask when in a shared space (indoors and outdoors) with others outside your household
- Stay at home and away from others if you feel sick
- Limit interactions with people outside of your household and keep them brief
- Keep the greatest physical distance possible (at least 2 metres) apart from others
- Practice respiratory etiquette (e.g., cough/sneeze in your elbow or tissue)
- Wash your hands (or use hand sanitizer) often and for at least 20 seconds
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects
- Exercise outdoors
Avoid settings and activities that increase your risk:
- Closed spaces with poor ventilation
- Crowded places with people outside of your immediate household
- Close-range conversations or settings where there is singing, shouting, or heavy breathing (e.g., exercise)
- Gathering in large groups
- Common greetings such as hugs, kisses and handshakes
- Contact with people at risk of more severe illness (older adults, those with underlying medical conditions)
- Touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
- Non-essential travel
