Keep your number of contacts low
Based on the confirmed cases at present, public health estimates that there are more than 6,600 reported contacts requiring follow-up in the province right now.听
- A 鈥渃lose contact鈥� is anyone that you have spent 15 minutes or more with, within the two metres of physical distancing.听 You should be able to count your close contacts on one hand.
- At this time, your close contacts should be the members of your immediate household who you dine with, hug, see without requiring a mask.
- Although not close contacts, consider all your weekly contacts whether in the classroom or at your workplace.听 While you must abide by the public health guidelines in these spaces to reduce the risk of transmission, could you list your contacts for the past 14 days?
