To reduce the spread of COVID-19, we need everyone to stay home, as much as possible. Avoid close contact and keep a distance of 6 feet (2 metres) from others. Everyone has a role to play. The actions you take will protect you, loved ones and those most vulnerable in our community. It’s time to step up, not out.
Limit your trips outdoors
Minimize trips for groceries, medication and other essentials, ideally to once a week
Offer to pick up essentials for neighbours, especially vulnerable community members
Ideally, order supplies online
Avoid crowded places when exercising or walking the dog outdoors
Consider doing aerobics or online exercise classes at home
Limit the number of people in elevators to keep distance and use an elbow to press buttons
Wash or sanitize your hands when entering and exiting buildings
Use tap to pay rather than handling money
Greet others from a distance with a wave or a nod
When taking transit or taxi
Travel during non-peak hours to avoid prolonged close contact with others
Take shorter trips rather than one long trip
With taxi and rideshare, sit in the back and open windows
Wash or sanitize your hands often and avoid touching your face
Avoid physical gatherings
Work from home, if possible
Facilitate virtual meetings (video or teleconferencing)
Cancel all group gatherings, parties or playdates with other children
Gatherings with more than 5 people are not allowed (excluding people who live together)
Do not go to playgrounds
Schedule virtual parties or playdates
Connect with loves ones by phone, email video or social media
Do not visit loved ones in long-term care homes, retirement homes or other care settings
If sick, stay home and self-isolate
People are most contagious when they are sick, or 48 hours before they show symptoms
Limit contact with household members
Refer to fact sheets on how to self-isolate
