Disposable masks are piling up fast as trash in our environment. Choosing a reusable non-medical mask helps to cut down on plastic waste and, even better, it g...ives you a chance to show some holiday style all while helping to slow the spread of #COVID19. Be sure to follow advice on proper material, structure and fit. Is yours bright and colourful? Plain or patterned? Maybe you like a bit of sparkle! Show us your non-medical mask in the comments.

Craving a smoke? Ask yourself: Do I need this cigarette? Do I even want to smoke; or Can I focus on something else?... Break your smoking routine. Instead, choose an easy alternative activity like drinking cold water, taking a walk or talking with a family member or friend. If you are considering quitting, get support to prepare a #quitsmoking plan that works for you: Find available help in your community: http://ow.ly/mL0450BYZ6k

Pregnant people and children under the age of 5 years are more at risk of complications from the flu. During pregnancy, the body goes through many changes that... can effect the immune system, heart and lungs. These changes can make it harder for the body to fight off infections. People who get the #FluShot during pregnancy pass on protection to their baby. This is especially important, as babies younger than 6 months cannot get vaccinated against the flu. The flu shot can help protect your baby from the flu after birth. http://ow.ly/Mibl50CyvS2

1) Please wear a medical mask OR a 3 layer mask to the clinic. 2) Please do not take the mask off in the clinic, including when you are waiting in the exam room for the doctor (as we now know that COVID can linger in the air) 3) Do not wear a mask with an outlet valve (some N95 woodworking masks have an outlet valve that does not protect others) https://www.cbc.ca//politics/three-layer-mask-tam-1.5787946

Stay home...except when you have to look after important medical issues. Call your doctor's office. See If the issue can be managed over the phone. https://globalnews.ca//74/routine-doctors-visits-manitoba/
