Health & Safety Guidelines

Safety is a shared responsibility. Help keep each other healthy by following health & safety guidelines as you enjoy public spaces.

• Practice physical distancing by staying 2 metres (6 feet) apart from other groups. Face masks are recommended if physical distancing is not possible.
• Cover your mouth & nose when sneezing or coughing. If you use a tissue, put it in the garbage and wash your hands or use hand sanitizer right away.
• Wash your hands often for at least 15 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Stay home if you are not feeling well.

Note that any public location where people are present provides an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19. By being in public places you voluntarily assume the risks related to exposure.
