Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: Health info: From the Acting Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Cristin Muecke: COVID-19 is of significant public health concern. The likelihood of it spreading is high. ... Symptoms are similar to flu; it is likely more infectious & more severe than the flu. The vast majority of cases are contracted from close contact with a sick person; transmitted via large droplets when people sneeze or from surfaces the droplets are on. Best form of prevention: social distancing (e.g. no handshakes, hugs and group photos), wash your hands, avoid touching your face, cover your mouth when you sneeze, stay home if you’re sick.

We have noticed on the security camera that individuals are dropping off garbage even when the truck is in for repairs. The office asks that if the truck is not parked, please refrain from leaving garbage on the ground.
