The best way to protect yourself is to continue to stay home as much as possible, wash your hands thoroughly and often, and stay 2 metres apart from others who do not reside in your household.
Vulnerable Persons Registry is a free, voluntary and confidential service aimed at improving the safety of residents living at home who would be at greater risk in an emergency. To be added to the Registry, please contact the Municipal Office at 705-843-2033 or Clerk/Administrator Tonelli at 705-542-5528. We will contact all those on the Registry and continue to check-in on a more frequent basis, during this Provincial Emergency.
Non-medical Face Coverings (masks, scarves, etc.) are recommended to be worn when physical distancing is a challenge.
If using a face covering, ensure the following:
- Wash your hands before putting it on and immediately after taking it off;
- Make sure it fits well and covers your nose and mouth;
- Change your face covering when it gets slightly wet or dirty and, if reusable, wash in hot water with detergent after each use;
- Dispose of single-use face coverings into a lined garbage bin and wash your hands.
DO NOT touch or move your face covering when wearing it;
DO NOT place a face covering children under the age of two years or on anyone who can’t take it off on their own;
DO NOT re-use face coverings that cannot be cleaned; and
DO NOT share the face coverings with others.
