Self-monitor, Self-isolate, and Isolate
There is a difference between advice to self-monitor, advice to self-isolate and advice to isolate. It is important to note these measures are in place to protect the health and safety of all Canadians.
Practice Social Distancing
Social distancing measures are a way to minimize COVID-19 transmission in the community. This means minimizing close contact with others during the peak of an outbreak. In addition to staying home when ill, we should plan for actions we can take if we need to reduce the spread of infection in places where we gather.
Hygiene and Hand Washing
Practise frequent hand hygiene and coughing and sneezing etiquette. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, such as toys and door handles.
Avoid Any Non-essential Travel
Government of Canada requirements for travel and those returning from outside of Canada can be found at travel.gc.ca/travelling/health-safety/travel-health-notices/221.
