Stay Home When You Are Sick

Many symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, or shortness of breath are difficult to distinguish from other respiratory tract infections or allergies. People who have COVID-19 can spread it to others before they begin to feel sick. In fact, you can be positive for COVID-19 and have no symptoms at all! This is why it is extremely important to stay home when you are sick. The COMBINED safety measures of wearing a mask, keeping a two-metre distance from everyone not within your household, sanitizing hands thoroughly and often, and staying home when sick are critical to keeping yourself and everyone around you safe.
