“Remember that COVID-19 is still with us. So let’s make sure we travel respectfully, by using our travel manners, planning ahead, being prepared and maintaining safe social interactions.”

“Before you go, do your research. Check-in with the community to understand if it is welcoming visitors and what services are available and what may still be closed. Take your provisions with you if needed, and while away, take the same safety precautions you have been doing at home.”

There have been no new community outbreaks or healthcare outbreaks.

In total, six long-term care or assisted-living facilities and one acute-care facility have active outbreaks.
