Washing our hands with soap and running water is very important to prevent infections.

Let’s continue to encourage our families, friends and neighbours to practice hygienic behaviours for a healthier and safer future.
Physical distance helps avoid contact with respiratory droplets when an infected person with #COVID19 talks, coughs or sneezes.

Keep a distance from anyone showing symptoms of a respiratory illness to limit the risk of infection.
