How to protect yourself & others from COVID-19

While we wait for vaccines to arrive and the national vaccination plan to be rolled out, we all need to keep protecting and safeguarding ourselves and others from COVID-19 by minimizing the risk of infection. These steps include:

Continuing to wear a mask to in public, especially in small or crowded places with little ventilation.
Staying at least 2 meters apart from others who you don’t live with.
Avoiding crowded places, including poorly ventilated areas.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes possible.

The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19; minimize your risk to safeguard yourselves and those around you.
