1/8 🇨🇦 faces a different #COVID19 situation in September, than that of February/March. Governments, businesses and Canadians have adapted to put measures in place that will help keep us on the #SlowBurn path. #SlowtheSpread

2/8 With Fall & Winter approaching, families and friends want to know if it’s safe to gather together indoors. No individual or family faces the same set of circumstances so we will need to make some choices for ourselves. #COVID19

3/8 We can’t eliminate all risk of #COVID19, and the situation may change, but asking a few “quick check” questions can help you think about the risks: 2 questions on your personal risk factors & 2 questions on settings/activities. See: canada.ca/en/public-heal…

4/8 In addition to staying home if you have any symptoms there are three things you can do before you go to an event or participate in an activity to reduce your risk of getting infected and unintentionally spreading the virus to your loved ones: ...

5/8 1/Know the symptoms of #COVID19, and if you are experiencing any symptoms, even if mild, stay home, stay away from others and get tested;

6/8 2/Keep up with effective #publichealth practices like #PhysicalDistancing, #handwashing, and wearing masks or face coverings. #MaskOn to reduce your risk of getting infected and spreading #COVID19.

7/8 3/Limit the number of settings/activities you attend, including private settings and social gatherings to reduce your risk of exposure and unintentionally spreading the virus to others.

8/8 Have a safe #longweekend #Canada and lets head into the fall with confidence that we’ll get through this together! #COVID19
