• New: Although there are no patients admitted who have tested positive for COVID-19, HSN is reminding the public of the need to follow important prevention advice from public health as the virus is still active in the community. Do not become complacent. This is crucial to avoid an increase in cases which will impact our efforts to resume regular operations.
• New: To prevent the spread of COVID-19 people should wash their hands often and stay home when they are sick. Masks or face coverings must be worn in all indoor public places in Sudbury and should be worn in all other settings where physical distancing of 2 meters cannot be maintained.
• New: Limiting our contacts and in-person interactions as much as possible is critical in reducing transmission of COVID-19. Close contact is only permitted within “social circles” and among members from the same household. A social circle can only include up to 10 people and must always be with the same people. You can only belong to one social circle. Non-essential in-person gathers of any size should be limited.
• New: With few exceptions, gatherings are currently maxed at 50 people indoors and 100 outdoors. Unless people are from the same household or social circle, they should keep 2 metres (6 feet) apart and wear a face covering if distancing is not possible.
• New: All residents who are planning to travel should be aware that COVID-19 is still circulating at different levels around the province. The safest options are to stay in the area of your home community or to stay in the region.
• New: The virus simply cannot spread easily if we limit our travel, stay within our social circles, keep our distance and wear face coverings outside of our circles, wash our hands, and stay home and call for testing when we don’t feel well.
