Regional breakdown of new Manitoba #COVID19 cases:
Wash your hands
Stay home if you can
Mask up when you must go out
Limit your contacts to the bare minimum
Only spend time indoors with people for essential reasons
Keep track of all contacts
Almost zero-risk behaviour: Staying home with others who largely do the same.
Low-risk behaviour: Incidental, glancing contact with others in a retail setting where everyone wears masks
High-risk behaviour: Prolonged indoor contact without masks with other people
Bottom line:
You likely won't get sick or sicken others if you limit your trips outside the home and wear masks when you do so.
On the other hand, you may expose yourself or others if you choose to ignore advice and socialize without masks.
That latter statement is not hyperbole.
The test-positivity rates are extremely high. The virus is widespread.
