Please notify your household or intimate contacts that you have tested positive for COVID-19 & ask them to self-isolate if they are not fully immunized.
If other members of your household test positive for COVID-19 they should continue to isolate until 7 days.
5/ Family - Asymptomatic:
Household members who are fully-vaccinated can continue their regular daily activities and self-monitor for symptoms; they do NOT need to self-isolate
6/ When to present for Assessment (NOT testing only)
Go to an Urgent and Primary Care Centre or ER, or call 911 if you:
• have difficulty breathing
• feel very sick
• have chest pain
• feel confused
• can’t drink anything
7/ End isolation when:
- At least 7 days have passed since your symptoms started, or from test date if you did not have symptoms (10 days for those who are not fully vax)
- Fever has resolved for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing 💊💊
AND
- Symptoms have improved 😃
8/ Mild Symptoms
There are more nuances for people who are immunocompromised or have severe illness, but I just wanted to focus on the general population who will likely get mild symptoms
Stay safe & stay vigilant.

This graph shows that children under 12 years‐old are
generally at lower risk of infection than other age groups, even after returning to school in September.
Lower # of cases among fully vax individuals compared to unvaxxed across all age groups & time.
3/ Clusters & Schools
2975 exposure notifications, in 830 schools.
45% of schools had one (until Nov 13)
382 clusters (>2 cases w/in 14 days) in 217 schools.
Clusters identified in 12% of schools, so 88% of schools have had NO transmission events.
Median cluster size is 3 cases.
“The lifestyle they have chosen is a defence mechanism to the trauma they experienced” as a reflection to residential school survivors.
