As most of us look to join in the celebration of Christmas this weekend, everyone is asked to keep their guard up and to continue practicing the infection prevention and control measures to reduce the spread of the virus.

• Wash and sanitize hands often during the day
• Wear a mask every time while in public and ensure it covers both the mouth and nose
• Maintain a distance of six feet from others which is about two arm’s length apart
• Sanitize frequently touched surfaces using a bleach solution
• Avoid contact with other people who have flu-like symptoms
• If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, keep away from others and seek medical care immediately at the closest community respiratory clinic.

The Ministry of Health and Wellness will continue providing updates as new information becomes available.
