Post-COVID Precautionary Measures
The pandemic is not over and how the virus will develop over time remains uncertain. COVID still poses a real risk to many of us. As we learn to live with COVID, there are still steps you can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19. We advise our members, families, and viewers to follow these simple steps to help keep themselves and others safe:
- Get vaccinated with Covid 19 vaccine and get your booster dose;
- Wear a face mask or other covering in most indoor public places and on public transport;
- Work from home, if this is allowed by your employer;
- Let fresh air in if you meet indoors with family and friends. Meeting outdoors is safer;
- Get tested and self-isolate if required; and
- Stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you have Covid symptoms
