Encourage Social Distancing in your operations
Social distancing is one of the most important tools health authorities can use to limit the spread of infection, and also one of the most effective strategies individuals can employ to do their part in minimizing the impact of COVID-19. But what is social distancing?
Social distancing measures are approaches taken to minimize close contact with others in the community. These include self-isolation on the individual level, avoiding crowded places like malls or gyms, and working from home. Every person can have an impact on this level, as not contracting the disease means less opportunities for the disease to be passed on to others.
WCB Saskatchewan has developed a handy tool to help you determine the level of risk for various activities. You should limit your exposure as much as possible, but also take care of your mental health with a variety of low-risk activities during this time.
As always, practice good hygiene habits and wash your hands regularly and thoroughly, cough into your elbow, and stay home if you are sick.
