Ten truths about COVID-19

Dec 17, 2020 | 9:09 AM

1. COVID-19 is no joke and has the potential to cripple our health-care system. If this happens, people who need life-saving care – even unrelated to COVID-19 – may not be able to access it.

2. We must all do our part to reduce transmission whether or not we are in contact with vulnerable people. Our actions have a ripple effect. No one is immune and we could all do more.

3. Keep your bubble small by limiting your close contacts to those you live with and those closest to you. Ideally, limit to only the people you live with.

4. We protect those around us and ourselves by wearing a mask. Masks don’t lead to low oxygen, bacterial infections or other ill effects. They don’t infringe on our human rights. Wearing a mask is akin to wearing a seatbelt or a bike helmet – with the added benefit of protecting others as well as yourself.

5. Local businesses need your support, but please support them safely. Almost all businesses offer take-out or curb-side pick-up.

6. We should stay home as much as possible to prevent transmission. This means working from home if it is possible to do so.

7. When a contact tracer calls, please be kind, tell them what they need to know, follow instructions, get tested if told to do so, and isolate.

8. Download the COVID Alert app. There is no conspiracy to this and it can speed up contact tracing.

9. Get your flu shot if you haven’t already. The flu shot is accessible and safe. Contact your physician’s clinic or pharmacy to get your flu shot.

10. When the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, get immunized. It will be safe. Trust the process.

Together, we can do this.
