COVID-19 On the Rise Again in Eastern Ontario:  What You Can Do

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit joined with the Champlain region’s hospital Chiefs of Staff and Medical Officers of Health in the Champlain Region to release a statement about the status of COVID-19 in the area. The key messages are:

• Get vaccinated with all the doses you are eligible for.
• Limit your close contacts.
• Wear a mask in indoor public spaces.
• Stay home if you are sick.

We also remind you of the importance of respiratory etiquette (covering coughs and sneezes) and regular hand washing/use of hand sanitizer when out in public or at gatherings.

All the measures combined will help to reduce other respiratory infections, including influenza that is circulating in our community.
