The risk of getting COVID-19 is evolving daily and varies between and within communities. Overall, the risk to Canadians remains high. This doesn’t mean that all Canadians will get the disease. It means that there’s already a significant impact on our health care system.
To stay healthy and to protect ourselves and others, we must be mindful of the ever-present risk of exposure to the virus. Some settings and situations increase the risk, such as being in:
- closed spaces with poor ventilation
- crowded places where a large number of people gather
- close contact where you can’t keep 2 metres apart from others
We have a long weekend coming up and we all want to get out and have fun. We can do this safely if we adhere to what the health expert is saying. Find thing to do outside that keeps your family away from other people. Crowds help the spread of the virus. If you go out to eat find a restraint with a balcony or a patio. setting inside put you and your loved ones at risk because of the poor ventilation and closed spaces. We can make this weekend a safe one.
