Tick tests positive for Lyme disease One blacklegged tick that was found locally has tested positive for the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease. This is the third positive tick reported in the Public Health Sudbury & Districts service area this year.

Public Health Sudbury & Districts is reminding everyone of the importance of taking precautions to protect themselves and those in their care. For example: ! avoid walking in tall grass and make sure yards are kept clear of debris and overgrown vegetation, grass, bushes, and trees ! keep wood piles and bird feeders away from homes ! wear a long-sleeved, light-coloured shirt, pants, and closed-toe shoes

! use insect repellents that are federally regulated

and contain DEET, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for their safe use ! check your clothing, body, and pets for ticks and change your clothing upon returning home from the outdoors ! take a shower to help wash off ticks that have not yet attached themselves to the skin ! If you find a tick attached to a human ! If a tick is found embedded in the skin, use tweezers to remove it as soon as possible.

Use fine-tipped tweezers to grab the tick close to the skin and gently pull straight up. ! Wash the area with soap and water. ! Put the tick in a dry container and bring it to your local public health unit to be sent for identification

and testing for Lyme disease. ! Follow up with your health care provider to determine if you need treatment, especially if the tick has been attached for more than 24 hours.

One of the typical signs of Lyme disease is a rash that looks like a bull’s eye: the bite area is surrounded by a round, red rash. Other symptoms of the disease can include fever, headache, and muscle and joint pain. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause serious problems to the heart, joints, and nervous system. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics.

Si vous trouvez une tique qui s’est fixée à une personne ! Si une tique est enfoncée dans la peau, servezvous d’une pince à épiler pour la retirer dès que possible. ! Utilisez une pince à épiler à extrémité fine pour la saisir près de la peau et trez doucement en ligne droite. ! Lavez la zone au savon et à l’eau. ! lacez la tique dans un contenant sec et apportez

celui-ci à votre bureau de santé pour qu’il l’envoie aux fins d’identification et de dépistage de la maladie de Lyme. ! Effectuez un suivi auprès de votre fournisseur de soins de santé afin de déterminer s’il vous faut un traitement, en particulier si la tique est demeurée fixée à votre peau pendant plus de 24 heures.

L’un des signes caractéristiques de maladie de Lyme est une éruption cutanée prenant l’apparence d’un centre de cible rouge autour du point de morsure. Les autres symptômes peuvent inclure de la fièvre, des maux de tête et des douleurs musculaires et articulaires. Non traitée, la maladie de Lyme peut causer de graves problèmes d’ordre cardiaque, articulaire ou nerveux. Elle se traite au moyen d’antibiotiques.

Announcing beds in a broken system won’t deliver better seniors care Teresa Armstrong, the Ontario NDP’s Long-Term Care critic, released the following statement in response to a government announcement of future long-term care beds being allocated to a Humber River Hospital longterm care facility: “Long-term care is badly understaffed, under-regulated, and the government no longer inspects facilities regularly. As a result, thousands of seniors are neglected, and their emotional well-being and health and safety are at risk. The inhumanity has been getting worse for years and years, while government after government glosses over the problem by announcing new beds they never even build.

The first thing that needs to be done right now is to address the things we know are hurting seniors in care. We need to hire thousands of PSWs, make their jobs full time, and pay them better. We need to have a minimum standard staffing level of four hours of hands-on care per d a y, p e r r e s i d e n t . We n e e d r e g u l a r , comprehensive inspections.

Then, we need a public inquiry and not a premier’s commission. Families deserve the kind of answers and accountability and permanent change only a public inquiry can offer.

The Liberal government announced thousands of long-term care beds, but between 2011 and 2018 they built just 611 beds. Premier Doug Ford has announced thousands of longterm care beds. In his first two years, he’s built just 34 beds. We need to fundamentally change long-term care, not just make announcements about more beds in a broken system.”

Following the death of more than 1,845 seniors in long-term care homes of COVID-19, the Ford government has refused to allow a public inquiry, selecting an internal premier’s commission, instead. Concerns the NDP has about the terms of reference for that commission include: • The scope limits the commission to only COVID-19-related concerns, and not the decade of problems that came before it • The commission doesn’t have a mandate

to examine the role of profit-making corporations running nursing facilities • Ford is allowing some commission meetings and hearings to be private, behind closed doors • Ford is giving confidentiality rights to documents, so that the government can keep some documents concealed • Ford’s commission does not give standing to the families and loved ones of seniors that died. The commissioner will pick and choose who to hear from • It’s non-binding, and Ford has refused to commit to implementing any of its recommendations

Chapleau Moments by

Michael J. Morris Leo Vezina recently brought back memories of Mrs. A.W. Moore, one of the greatest hockey fans in the history of Chapleau.

Fondly referred to as "Mrs. Artificial Ice Moore", and "Mrs. Hockey Moore", she played a huge role in having artificial ice installed in the Chapleau Memorial Community Arena.

Leo posted a photo of Mrs. Moore on the Chapleau History and Genealogy page on Facebook founded by Louise Tremblay, and it has resulted in an outpouring of memories of and affection for Mrs. Moore. As of the morning of August 8 as I write my column, there were over 160 likes and comments on the Facebook page.

Although I wrote a column about Mrs. Moore in 2009. I decided to share some of the comments made about this wonderful Chapleau citizen now but decided not to provide names as I did not contact them for permission. To me, who knew Mrs. Moore well, it is totally awesome that she is remembered so fondly.

Here is a sampler:

Mrs. A.W. Moore

- Page 3

Remembering Mrs. A.W. Moore one of the greatest hockey fans in the history of Chapleau “... Such a wonderful lady and community minded Chapleauite. Thanks to Mrs. Moore for the artificial ice and more" Everyone knew and loved Mrs. Moore.

She was a great community role model for many."

"I remember Mrs. Moore coming to the house and sitting at the table and selling pool tickets." (I do too. Every week my grandmother Edythe Hunt would get her pool tickets) "A grand dame of Chapleau. I was fascinated by her when she would come to our house to see pool tickets.

"She was a special lady who did so much for the community," "Fantastic lady, She added a lot of excitement to Hockey Night in Canada. With all her hard work, the arena will always be the Moore arena to me. Very special lady.."

For more comments visit Chapleau History and Genealogy page on Facebook.

In a write-up published when the artificial ice was completed, it was noted that from the opening of the memorial arena in 1951, "Mrs. Moore was determined to see artificial ice installed in our arena, even if she had to raise the necessary funds herself. Through her untiring efforts and sheer determination, this grand lady, virtually by herself, raised the unbelievable sum of over $12,000. Without this amount the plant would not be installed...So it is with deep and sincere appreciation we say: Thank You Mrs. Artificial Ice Moore."

Mrs. Moore also donated to a public address system and to the painting of the memorial arena. The projects were pretty well completed by 1965.

Mrs. Moore was named "Chapleau's Greatest Hockey Fan" by the members of the Chapleau Trappers hockey team which she supported for many years. After the Trappers won the town championship in 1949, a dinner was held where they honoured Mrs. Moore. “... Mrs. Moore has so generously devoted her time, winter after winter in the interest of our hockey club," a tribute read "She has shown this interest in various ways, by the selling of hockey pools, putting on bean suppers, mending hockey sweaters and socks, knitting an too many other things too numerous to mention."

The tribute also noted that when referring to the sport of hockey (back in the 1940s), it was generally thought of as being connected with a group of men with women being spectators.

"Would it not be a more wise and profitable sport if we had more women like Mrs. Moore?" the tribute writer asked.

"Without a doubt she is the backbone of our hockey club. Whether we win or lose a

hockey match she is right behind us cheering all the way. Her faith in us as a hockey team is truly unfaltering. Her heart and soul belongs to the Trappers.

The 1949 Trappers team which won the town championship included: Harvey Fortunato, Rev. Howard Strapp, Basil Collings, Mason McAdam, Cecil McAdam, Ed Swanson, Roy May, Tom Godfrey, Jim Dillon, Frank Lucky, Toddy Collinson, Roger Longchamps. "Daddle" Swanson, Garth "Tee" Chambers, Alton "Dudie" Chambers, Romeo Morin, Yvon Morin and Rollie Burns.

Mrs. Moore remained an avid hockey fan through the years attending games of the Chapleau Junior "B" Huskies who were the first great beneficiaries of her efforts in getting artificial ice They were founded in 1966-67 by Keith 'Buddy' Swanson, Lorne Riley and Tom Welch, through the years to those of the Chapleau Intermediate "A" Huskies in the memorial arena and the Mrs. A.W. Moore Arena in the Chapleau Recreation Centre opened in 1978.

At the official opening of the recreation centre which Mrs. Moore was able to attend, it was announced that council had decided to name the arena, the Mrs. A.W. Moore Arena in recognition of her outstanding contribution.

Mrs. Moore died in 1979 and it was very fitting that members of the Intermediate "A" Huskies who were carrying on the hockey tradition in Chapleau acted as pallbearers.

Chapleau hockey players were always her “boys."

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par

Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

Last week I confided how I receive a lot of correspondence on the subject of masks.

While that particular subject has been ramping up as local regulations come into place, another consistent topic has been cars with American licence plates that are popping up in AlgomaManitoulin-Kapuskasing. While there are good reasons to explain the presence of these vehicles, there are valid questions to be asked as well.

As most of us understand, the border is closed to non-essential travel and that has thrown much of what we take for granted up in the air.

Americans’ who summer in Canada have not been able to travel to their properties and snowbirds are wondering if the closure will persist and take that option from them later in the year. The agreement is not unilateral, instead is a part of a process that has been agreed upon by both countries. As time passes, exemptions have been identified and the decision is re-visited every 30 days.

- Page 4

Why are American licensed vehicles in the north?

For many, the sight of an American plate brings out questions about the manner in which border agents are doing their job. While none of us could speak to every instance, there are valid reasons for these vehicles to be in Canada. The first of these would be that these vehicles belong to Canadians who live in the United States. They may have a vehicle they purchased and registered in the US, but they are Canadians and are allowed to return to Canada and are required to quarantine for 14 days once arriving.

The second reason is for family unification. There was a news story last week about a novel cross border wedding that took place in western Canada, where the groom lived, on the border separated by a fence with border officials as witnesses. After the wedding, the bride moved to Canada and is isolating in quarantine for the required period. Even in the riding there are spouses who live apart for certain periods of time because of their work; one such example is a Canadian whose wife is American and teaches in the U.S. so now that school is out, she has finally been able to reunite with her husband for the summer. Similar arrangements are taking place across the country as couples unite.

Exemptions also exist for permanent residents, persons registered under the Canadian

Indian Act, and protected persons such as minors who may be part of a cross-border shared custody arrangement. As mentioned, these individuals are all subject to quarantine rules and must have a quarantine plan in place to show border officials.

Such a plan would indicate where a person will be staying, how they will travel to that destination, purchase their groceries, and access any essential services and medical care they may require.

There are a few other exemptions that relate to special circumstances such as diplomats and foreign students. In every instance, the quarantine restrictions remain the same.

It is easy to see how people can jump to conclusions based on limited evidence or information in news stories and many of the messages I have received relate to incidents they have heard about. For the purpose of being open, I should also relate that I receive a lot of correspondence from American’s who own property in Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing and would like to be allowed entry into Canada to ensure those properties don’t fall into dis-repair.

While I can appreciate their circumstance, it is imperative that the border remain as tight as possible. The American response to the pandemic has not been as robust as Canada’s as the outcomes have shown. That alone makes the border closure essential.

Pourquoi y a-t-il des véhicules immatriculés aux États-Unis dans le Nord?

La semaine dernière, j’ai raconté que je reçois beaucoup de courrier au sujet des masques.

Alors que ce sujet bien précis prend de l’importance en raison des règlements mis en place localement, un autre sujet revient encore et encore, et c’est celui des voitures immatriculées aux États¬-¬¬¬¬Unis qui font leur apparition dans la circonscription d’Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing. Bien qu'il existe des raisons légitimes pour que ces véhicules se trouvent dans la région; néanmoins, leur présence suscite aussi un certain nombre de questions légitimes.

D’après ce que la plupart d’entre nous comprennent, les voyages transfrontaliers non essentiels sont interdits, et cela a contribué à remettre en question beaucoup de choses que nous tenions pour acquises. Les Américains qui passent leurs étés au Canada n’ont pas pu se rendre dans leurs résidences et les aînés qui passent l’hiver dans le Sud se demandent s’ils pourront s’y rendre plus tard dans l’année si la frontière reste fermée. L’accord n’est pas unilatéral, mais fait partie d’un processus qui a été entériné par les deux pays. Au fil du temps, des exemptions sont accordées et la décision est réexaminée tous les 30 jours.

Pour beaucoup, la vue d’une plaque américaine suscite des questions sur la manière dont les agents aux postes frontaliers font leur travail. Bien qu’aucun d’entre nous ne puisse prétendre savoir ce qui se passe dans tous les cas, il y a des raisons

valables pour expliquer la présence de ces véhicules au Canada. La première, c’est que ces véhicules appartiennent à des Canadiens qui vivent aux ÉtatsUnis. Il est possible qu’ils aient un véhicule acheté et immatriculé aux États-Unis, mais ils sont canadiens et sont autorisés à retourner au Canada et sont tenus de se mettre en quarantaine pendant 14 jours une fois arrivés.

La seconde raison, c’est la réunification familiale. Il y avait une histoire aux nouvelles, la semaine dernière, à propos d’un mariage unique — dont des agents des douanes avaient été les témoins — dans l’Ouest du Canada, à un poste frontière qui est divisé que par une clôture où le futur marié vit.

Après le mariage, la mariée a déménagé au Canada, où elle est en isolation pour la période requise. Même dans la circonscription, il y a des conjoints qui vivent séparés pendant certaines en raison de leur travail; c’est le cas, par exemple, d’un Canadien dont la femme est américaine et enseigne aux États-Unis.

Maintenant que l’école est finie, elle a pu enfin retrouver son mari pour l’été. Des arrangements similaires sont organisés partout au pays pour permettre aux couples de se réunir.

Des exemptions existent également pour les résidents permanents, les personnes inscrites en vertu de la Loi sur les Indiens du Canada et les personnes protégées telles que les mineurs au sujet desquels une entente transfrontalière de garde partagée a peut-être été signée. Comme cela a été dit, ces personnes

doivent toutes respecter une quarantaine et doivent avoir un plan en place à montrer aux agents des postes frontaliers. Ce plan doit indiquer où une personne va séjourner, comment elle va se rendre à cette destination, de quelle manière elle va se procurer ses provisions et comment elle va accéder aux services essentiels et aux soins médicaux dont elle pourrait avoir besoin. Il y a quelques autres exemptions dans des cas particuliers comme les diplomates et les étudiants étrangers. Dans tous les cas, les restrictions liées à la quarantaine restent les mêmes.

Il est facile de comprendre comment les gens peuvent sauter aux conclusions quand ils se basent sur des preuves ou des renseignements limités cités dans les journaux, et beaucoup des courriers que j’ai reçus concernent des incidents dont ces gens ont entendu parler. Dans un souci d’ouverture, je dois également préciser que je reçois beaucoup de correspondance d’Américains qui possèdent des propriétés dans la circonscription d’AlgomaManitoulin-Kapuskasing et qui souhaiteraient être autorisés à entrer au Canada pour s’assurer que ces propriétés ne tombent pas en ruine. Bien que je sois en mesure de comprendre leur situation, il est impératif que la frontière reste aussi imperméable que possible. La réponse américaine à la pandémie n’a pas été aussi rigoureuse que celle du Canada, comme l’ont montré les résultats. Cette constatation à elle seule rend la fermeture de la frontière essentielle.

5 simple lifestyle changes to help you through cold and flu season (N C) Fall usually brings the excitement of a new routine, new school year, extracurricular activities and the cool weather we’re all likely craving after summer heat waves.

While things may look a little different this year as we settle into our new normal, the dreaded cold and flu season will be upon us before we know it.

Making a few small lifestyle changes, like adding plenty of immune-boosting foods, can go a long way in helping us stay ahead of the flu.

These simple steps from Jacklyn Villeneuve, registered dietitian at Loblaws, can help us reduce our chances of getting the flu and spreading it to others.

Fill up half your plate with produce. We know that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is beneficial for so many reasons, but did you know that their antioxidants are very important for our immune system as well? Vitamin C is just one antioxidant that has a protective effect. So, stock up on nutritious favourites like red bell

peppers, broccoli, spinach, garlic, kiwi and citrus fruits.

Don’t forget your proteins. Many common food sources of protein like fish, beef, oysters, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds are also rich in zinc. Both protein and zinc are important nutrients for our immune health. Aim to include a source of protein at each meal and snack.

Welcome probiotics. Did you know that probiotics in food can help us strengthen our immune system? Look for yogurt and kefir with added probiotics to make sure you have a strong population of friendly bacteria in your gut. We can also get probiotics from supplements. It is best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are considering taking a supplement.

Remember to rest. No foods can act as a substitute for getting a good night’s sleep and making sure you’re finding ways to manage stress. Rest gives our bodies the chance to recuperate and fight off potential invaders.

Get your flu shot. Regardless of our food and lifestyle choices, getting the flu shot is something we should all be doing each year. The more people who get the flu shot, the less likely the flu is to be widespread and affect the most vulnerable. The flu shot is available at all Loblaws locations that have an in-store pharmacy.

COVID-19 and arthritis: what you need to know

Call 705-864-2579 chaexpress@sympatico.ca

(NC) It’s not clear whether having arthritis makes you more susceptible to a coronavirus infection. But much like the seasonal flu, older adults and people with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis may be more likely to get seriously sick if they do become infected.

“The main concern isn’t the virus itself, but secondary bacterial infection and other complications that may arise when your body’s defenses are in a weakened state,” explains Trish Barbato, president and CEO of the Arthritis Society.

Six million Canadians – about one in five adults – live with arthritis, so the risks of COVID-19 are profound. If you have arthritis, it’s critical to take precautions now while researchers continue their work on finding a vaccine.

Follow the standard precautions of maintaining physical distance, wearing a mask when you cannot do so, and practicing good hygiene. Additionally, it is recommended that you get your vaccinations updated, including seasonal influenza, pneumococcal and pertussis vaccines.

These vaccines won’t prevent COVID19, but could lessen secondary infection and will

prevent illnesses that could resemble it.

Some inflammatory arthritis medications suppress the immune system, which may make you more vulnerable to infection. But for most people with arthritis in our country, there is no need to stop your medications as the risk of contracting the virus remains low.

As always, consult your doctor or rheumatologist about any change in your health or any questions about your medications.

Ontario Building Health and Safety in Indigenous Workplaces and Communities

Investment will support mental health and workplace safety programs Today, Greg Rickford, Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines; Minister of Indigenous Affairs, on behalf of Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development, announced Ontario is investing $280,500 to help Nokiiwin Tribal Council provide culturally-appropriate training and programs.

This funding will go towards programs to help protect the health and safety of workers from First Nations communities in Northwestern Ontario by addressing mental health and workplace violence and harassment, as well as expanding supports for vulnerable workers.

"We are committed to supporting workers, students and families living in First Nation communities of the Robinson Superior Treaty area and beyond," said Minster Rickford.

"This initiative offers an opportunity to harness workplace health and safety as a catalyst for positive and lasting change."

The G'minoomaadozimin - We Are Living Well project will offer training to help

foster respectful workplaces and design programs that utilize the Seven Grandfather Teachings (Love, Respect, Courage, Honesty, Humility, Truth & Wisdom) inherent to the First Nations belief system. The Nokiiwin Tribal Council will also implement activities and tools to support safer workplaces, homes and communities and engage youth through creative storytelling exercises and artistry to foster safety and mental health.

"G'minoomaadozimin is steered by the needs and priorities of our member First Nations. The continuation of this initiative, especially during this unprecedented time, is integral to developing safety initiatives and solutions that are built on the traditional cultural foundations of our communities," said Audrey Gilbeau, Executive Director, Nokiiwin Tribal Council. "Utilizing workplace health and safety as a catalyst for change, leads to safer families and safer communities."

"As Ontario's economy begins to reopen, it is important to ensure that workers from First Nations communities are returning to

safe and healthy workplaces," said Minister McNaughton. "I have made the health and safety of every worker a key priority as Minister. The culturally sensitive training and programs developed and delivered by Nokiiwin Tribal Council are crucial supports."

Since 2015, the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development has provided over $1.1 million in funding to Nokiiwin Tribal Council.

Nokiiwin Tribal Council’s mandate is to provide culturally-appropriate advisory services and training opportunities that enhance growth and prosperity for member communities in response to their individual needs and priorities.

Nokiiwin Tribal Council member communities within the Robinson Superior Tr e a t y a r e a : A n i m b i i g o o Z a a g i ’ i g a n Anishinaabek (Lake Nipigon Ojibway) Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek (Sand Point), Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek (Rocky Bay), Fort William First Nation, Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg (Pic Mobert).

Keep kids learning this school year with the right technology

(NC) For many parents of young students, stepping into the world of laptops and technology will be necessary this fall. As this school year brings new challenges and opportunities to learn, having reliable, kid-friendly technology is key to a successful remote learning journey.

To help set your kids up for success, check out these quick tips for picking the right tech: - Choosing the right laptop: Kids need laptops that are easy and accessible, while parents need to choose one that won’t break the bank. Because young learners won’t be working on software that takes up a lot of space, a laptop with low storage is a functional yet wallet-friendly solution.

Chromebooks are a great option that can withstand wear and tear and have security features to keep kids’ browsing safe. You can find a variety of quality laptop options for every level at Staples Canada.

- The importance of good headphones: Headphones will play a critical role in this year’s learning. With students learning and parents working from home, headphones are key to ensuring everyone stays focused. If you’re shopping for the kids, a pair of headphones with a volume limiter will keep young ears protected, and lightweight and padded ones won’t strain little necks and ears. Remember, headphones with a kid-friendly design will make your children want to keep wearing them.

- Printers the whole family can use: With everyone trying to be productive at home, a printer will be an essential to keeping you all on track. A 4-in-1 printer is a great option for the whole family, because no matter what the need is, this printer has it covered. Cartridge-free printers

are also a great solution for those who keep running out of ink, as these have big ink tanks that will last ages.

Ontario Providing Municipalities with up to $1.6 Billion in First Round of Emergency Funding Assistance Will Help Ensure the Delivery of Critical Public Services During COVID-19 The Ontario government, in partnership with the federal government, is delivering on its commitment to provide up to $4 billion in urgently needed one-time assistance to Ontario's 444 municipalities. Municipalities will be provided with up to $1.6 billion as part of the first round of emergency funding under the Safe Restart Agreement. This funding will help municipalities protect the health and well-being of the people of Ontario, while continuing to deliver critical public services, such as public transit and shelters, as the province continues down the path of renewal, growth and economic recovery.

Through the Safe Restart Agreement with the federal government, $695 million will help municipalities address operating pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic through the first round of emergency funding, and over $660 million will support transit systems. The province is also providing an additional $212 million through the Social Services Relief Fund to help vulnerable people find shelter.

The details were provided today by Premier Doug Ford, Rod Phillips, Minister of Finance, Kinga Surma, Associate Minister of Transportation (G TA), and Jim McDonell, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

"Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have had the backs of our municipalities, which is why we are announcing up to $1.6 billion in critical funding today to help strengthen our communities and safely restart our economy," said Premier Ford.

"This first round of funding will address the most urgent needs of our communities, ensuring critical services like transit and shelters are there when people need them most."

"Municipalities are on the front lines of a safe restart to our economy. That's why we're working with Ontario, and all the provinces and territories, to ensure communities have the support they need to help Canadians through the next phase of this crisis," said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

"Here in Ontario, this funding will allow municipalities to offer critical public services, like public transportation and shelters, while they help protect against potential future waves of the virus.

Building a stronger and more resilient economy that works for everyone starts with keeping Canadians safe and healthy. Together, we will build on the progress we've made, and put Canadians first as we gradually and safely restart our economy."

In Fall 2020, Ontario's 444 municipalities will receive $695 million in Phase 1 funding to help address municipal operating pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding will be allocated on a per household basis and would be shared 50/50 between upper- and lower-tier municipalities. Up to $695 million in additional funding will be available through Phase 2 to eligible

Top-10-COVID-Rules-to-Live-By: A joint statement on living safely with COVID-19 You cannot follow the rules if you do not know what they are.

With so many announcements about COVID-19—from stages of reopening to personal precautions—it can be hard to know what rules are currently in place. This statement clarifies common misperceptions and repeats basic actions that by now may be common knowledge. The Top-10-COVID-Rules-to-LiveBy will keep us going for the long haul and will go a long way to protect our health, our health care system, our schools, and our jobs and economy.

The virus simply cannot spread easily if everyone knows the basic rules and follows them.

To keep up-to-date and for more details on specific circumstances, visit phsd.ca/COVID19.

Top-10-COVID-Rules-to-Live-By 1. Stick to your social circle of no more than 10 people Your social circle can only include up to 10 people and must always be with the same people. These are the people who you can get close to without a face covering; they are the people who have all decided to be part of your social circle and only your social circle.

2. Keep 2 metres distance from anyone not in your social circle Continue to practise physical distancing in all settings. For example, people at your table in restaurants and bars must be those in your social circle. Stay 2 metres away from everyone else, especially when it’s not possible to cover your face.

3. Use your face covering in enclosed indoor public spaces and when you can’t keep 2

metres distance outdoors Keep a face covering (i.e. mask, scarf, bandana, etc.) with you so you can use it when you need it.

4. Limit gatherings of any size The provincial gathering limits have increased, but the public health measures haven’t changed. Ask yourself if the gathering is necessary and if so, assess your risk and determine how you can make the activity safer.

5. Limit travel As the province and country reopen, more area residents are being infected by being exposed to the virus through travel outside our region. Ask yourself if the travel is necessary and if so, plan ahead on how you will keep COVIDsafe.

6. Wash your hands Wash your hands often and when visibly dirty, for 15 seconds. Make a habit of carrying hand sanitizer with you.

7. Stay home when ill The easiest way to reduce transmission is to stay home. If you have a COVID-19 symptom, get tested.

8. Get tested If you have a COVID-19 symptom, if you are concerned that you may have been exposed to COVID-19, or if you are at risk of exposure to COVID-19 through your work, contact an assessment centre and get tested. Remember, you can still be infected after a negative test. A negative result should not be treated as a free pass to let your guard down. Continue to take precautions.

9. Work remotely

Continue to work remotely, where possible. Reducing our time in the workplace reduces the possibility of introducing the virus to new environments.

10. Practice kindness, patience, and gratitude—we are all in this together Changing our behaviour and doing things in new ways takes planning and practice. Think ahead. Assess your risk and live by the rules. The Top-10-COVID-Rules-to-Live-By are simple yet powerful actions that will get us through this pandemic safely.

Together we learn, together we adapt, and together we will be proud of how we successfully pulled through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Les 10 principales règles à respecter concernant la COVID : déclaration commune sur la manière de vivre en sécurité avec la COVID-19 Vous ne pouvez suivre les règles si vous ne les connaissez pas. Étant donné le nombre élevé d’annonces sur la C O V I D-19, depuis les étapes de déconfinement jusqu’aux précautions personnelles, il peut être difficile de savoir quelles sont les règles en vigueur. La présente déclaration a pour but de dissiper les malentendus et de répéter les mesures de base que tout le monde connaît peut-être à présent. Les 10 principales règles à respecter concernant la COVID nous permettront de fonctionner à long terme et nous aideront grandement à protéger notre santé, notre système de soins de santé, nos écoles, nos emplois et notre économie. Le virus

ne peut tout simplement pas se répandre facilement si tout le monde connaît et suit les règles de base.

Afin de vous tenir au courant et d’obtenir d’autres détails sur des situations précises, allez à phsd.ca/laCOVID-19.

Les 10 principales règles à respecter concernant la COVID 1. Tenez-vous-en à votre cercle social d’un maximum de 10 personnes.

Votre cercle social ne peut inclure qu’un maximum de 10 personnes, et celles-ci doivent toujours être les mêmes. Ce sont celles dont vous pouvez vous approcher sans porter de couvrevisage et qui ont décidé d’en faire exclusivement partie.

2. Gardez une distance de deux mètres avec toute personne qui ne fait pas partie de votre cercle social.

Continuez de pratiquer la distanciation physique dans tous les cadres. Par exemple, les personnes à votre table dans les restaurants et les bars doivent être celles qui font partie de votre cercle social. Restez à deux mètres de toute autre personne, en particulier lorsque vous ne pouvez pas vous couvrir le visage.

3. Portez votre couvre-visage dans les lieux publics intérieurs fermés et quand vous ne pouvez garder une distance de deux mètres à l’extérieur.

Gardez un couvre-visage (masque, foulard, bandana, etc.) sur vous pour pouvoir l’utiliser au besoin.

4. Limitez les rassemblements de toute taille.

Les limites imposées par la province pour les rassemblements ont augmenté, mais les mesures sanitaires n’ont pas changé. Demandez-vous si le rassemblement est nécessaire. Et si c’est le cas, évaluez le risque et déterminez comment vous pouvez rendre l’activité plus sécuritaire.

5. Limitez les déplacements. À mesure que la province et le pays se déconfinent, le nombre de personnes infectées

par une exposition au virus augmente en raison de déplacements en dehors de notre région.

Demandez-vous si le déplacement est nécessaire.

Et si c’est le cas, prévoyez un moyen d’assurer votre protection contre la COVID. 6. Lavez-vous les mains.

Lavez-vous les mains souvent ou quand elles sont visiblement sales, pendant 15 secondes. Prenez l’habitude de garder sur vous un désinfectant pour les mains.

7. Restez chez vous en cas de maladie.

Le moyen le plus simple de réduire la transmission consiste à rester chez soi. Si vous présentez un symptôme de la COVID-19, allez passer un test de dépistage.

8. Allez passer un test de dépistage.

Si vous présentez un symptôme de la COVID-19, si vous craignez d’avoir été en présence de la maladie, ou si vous risquez une exposition en raison de votre travail, communiquez avec un centre d’évaluation et allez passer un test de dépistage. N’oubliez pas.

Vous pouvez toujours vous faire infecter après avoir reçu un résultat négatif. Il ne faudrait pas que celui-ci serve de prétexte pour baisser la garde. Continuez de prendre des précautions.

9. Travaillez à distance.

Continuez de travailler à distance, autant que possible. Réduire le temps passé sur le lieu de travail réduit le risque d’introduire le virus dans de nouveaux environnements.

10. Faites preuve de gentillesse, de patience et de gratitude. Nous sommes tous dans le même bateau.

Changer son comportement et faire les choses autrement exige de la planification et de la pratique. Évaluez le risque et respectez les règles.

Les 10 principales règles à respecter concernant la COVID sont des mesures simples, mais efficaces qui nous permettront d’assurer notre sécurité en ces temps de pandémie.

Ensemble, nous apprenons, nous nous adaptons, et nous serons fiers de la manière dont nous aurons réussi à surmonter la pandémie de COVID-19.
