2/6 Restarting social & economic activities is about striking a balance - resuming priority activities & services with appropriate controls in place to limit health & societal impacts of #COVID19.

3/6 Jurisdictions are moving slowly and cautiously keeping a close eye on the local epidemiology of #COVID19 b/c that is what drives which #publichealth measures are required and activities are permitted.

4/6 During this reopening phase & as we move forward, individuals will continue to play a key role in controlling the spread of #COVID19. There are steps all Canadians can take to ↓ the risk to ourselves & each other. #COVIDwise

5/6 Go OUT SMART. Remember to practice #PhysicalDistancing, #GoodHygiene, incl. meticulous #handwashing, #StayHomeIfSick and wear a non-medical mask or face covering when it’s difficult to keep 2m <-> distance from others.

6/6 Remember to avoid or strictly limit time spent in high risk settings including:
🚫 CLOSED SPACES with poor ventilation;

🚫 CLOSE CONTACT where you can’t keep an optimal physical distance from others.
