- Limit in-person social interactions to people within your household.
- Minimize interactions with people who don’t live in your house and one or two persons who are essential to maintaining physical and mental health (e.g. caregivers, social supports to someone who lives alone).
- Avoid in-person social interactions with friends, with co-workers when not at work, and with extended family.
- When dining at restaurants, going to the movies, or partaking in other social activities, you should limit it to your household members.
- Stay home if you have any symptoms of illness, however mild.
- While it is cold season now and many of us are used to mild infections at this time of year, a mild illness could be COVID-19 and may be much more severe for someone else who might catch it from us.
- By staying home if sick, we protect everyone else in our community.
