Re: Public Health and Novel Coronavirus Awareness

As many of you are aware, addressing the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) remains a focus for global, federal, provincial and local authorities. Earlier this week, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and as the impact has spread to Canada our federal and provincial governments are providing regular guidance to the public on the matter.

As a reminder, to help protect you and your family against all respiratory illnesses, including flu and COVID-19, you should:

-Wash your hands often and well
-Avoid touching your face, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
-Avoid close contact with people who are sick
-Clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched
-Stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill
-Contact your primary health provider or Health Link 811 if you have questions or concerns about your health
-When sick, cover your cough and sneezes and then wash your hand.
