The coronavirus responsible for Covid-19 mainly spreads from person-to-person, and mainly in indoor spaces. Being outdoors helps a lot to reduce your risk of exposure and it can also improve your well-being.
Follow your local, provincial and federal Public Health guidelines. Reduce your exposure to others by wearing a mask and following physical distancing guidelines. Stay home if you are sick.
A few best practices to consider in order to protect yourself and those around you are as follows:
Wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol if you do not have access to soap and water.
Clean and disinfect the surfaces around your home and work. Use hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol content if you cannot clean/disinfect.
Wear a face mask in public spaces where physical distancing may be challenging.
Watch out for 'cold and flu' symptoms which may indicate exposure to a rhinovirus (common cold), influenza virus, or coronavirus.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
