Public Health Agency of Canada COVID-19 Guidelines

Please take a moment to review the below Public Health Agency of Canada COVID-19 guidelines. Take care of yourself and each other by practising social distancing, washing your hands, and staying home. Together, we can flatten the curve.

1. Are you or your friends and family returning to Canada from vacation or other travels?

Welcome home! And please stay home. Avoid contact with others for 14 days. This important preventive action protects your loved ones and your community, because you may have come into contact with the COVID-19 virus while travelling.
