COVID-19 Updates
You must continue practising physical distancing to help limit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the risk of getting sick.
Physical distancing involves taking steps to limit the number of people you come into close contact with.
To protect yourself and others:
keep at least 2 metres (about the length of a hockey stick) distance from people outside your household or cohort family
limit the number of times you leave your home for errands; try to limit grocery store visits to once a week
try to have only one person in the household do the shopping
try to shop at less busy times
order online to have groceries or other items delivered if possible
go for a walk in your neighbourhood or park while maintaining distance from others
avoid overcrowding in elevators or other enclosed spaces
follow Alberta’s mandatory restrictions on gatherings
wash or sanitize your hands after touching communal surfaces
To protect yourself and others:
wear a mask in public when distancing is not possible
download and use the ABTraceTogether mobile contact tracing app while out in public
wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer
use gloves properly if you choose to wear them (they are not necessary)
cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow
avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
avoid travel outside Canada
watch for COVID-19 symptoms (see the full symptom list)
take the COVID-19 self-assessment to arrange testing if you have any symptoms
follow mandatory isolation requirements:
10 days minimum if you develop any COVID-19 symptoms, or until the symptoms resolve, whichever is longer
14 days if you recently returned from travel outside of Canada or are a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, plus an additional 10 days from the onset of symptoms, should they occur, whichever is longer
