We’ve received a lot of great questions about COVID-19! Here’s an answer to one frequently asked question: What should I do if I need to self-isolate? If you ne...ed to self-isolate, that means: You must stay home unless you need to get tested or require emergency medical care. You can go on your own property only (balcony or deck, walk in your yard) but you must keep a 2 metre distance from others. You may not go to work, school, or other public places. You must separate yourself from others, including those in your home, with the purpose of preventing the spread of COVID-19. You cannot have any visitors, unless essential (for example, care providers). For more information, visit https://www.publichealthontario.ca//factsheet-covid-19-how. Remember: The Health Unit has issued a Class Order under Section 22 of the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act, which allows the Health Unit to enforce self-isolation requirements for certain individuals. If the Health Unit instructs you to self-isolate, you must do so.
