MWRVS has been engaged in discussions about how best to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 situation in a prudent manner. Alberta Health Services lists the risk level in Alberta as low, but is recommending that anyone experiencing symptoms or anyone that has travelled outside of Canada, contact Health Link (811) before engaging in public activities. The Saville Centre has stated that at this time they are increasing their disinfecting procedures but are open for business at this time.
To protect yourself and others:
• use good hygiene practices, such as frequent handwashing
• cover coughs and sneezes, elbow is best
• avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
• stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill
The recommendation is to stay home 72 hours past the end of a cold or flu to prevent the spread of illness.
To reiterate: - if you have COVID-19 related symptoms - if you have travelled outside of Canada, especially in the higher recognized affected areas THEN - call HealthLink (811) before engaging in public activities, including our program.
