The Fraser Health Authority is asking people in the following situations to self-isolate for 14 days:
- people who have tested positive for COVID-19
- people who have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19
- people who are returning from travel
- people who have symptoms of COVID-19
Self-isolating involves the following steps:
- limit contact with others (do not leave the house, maintain a distance of 2 meters from others, do not touch pets if in a shared household, use a separate bathroom from other household members, if possible)
- keep hands clean (wash regularly with soap, avoiding touching your face, couch or sneeze into your elbow)
- avoid contaminating items and surfaces used by others (put the toilet lid down before flushing, clean surfaces at least once daily, do not share personal items)
- care for yourself (monitor your symptoms, get enough rest,eat healthy foods)
- contact your health care provider immediately if symptoms worsen

While the COVID-19 vaccine is now being rolled out, the best way to avoid becoming infected or infecting others is still to practice social distancing. The BC Ministry of Health is recommending that all residents practice social distancing in order to help limit the spread of the virus.
Social Distancing involves:
- avoiding any non-essential gatherings
- avoiding physical greetings, including handshakes, kissing or hugging
- avoiding crowded spaces, including cafes, restaurants
- limiting contact with people who are at higher risk, including the elderly and people in poor health
- keeping a distance of 2 meters from others
In order to protect their staff and their patients, many clinics and family doctors are limiting physical interactions with patients. They may do this by:
- Offering services via telehealth (either online or by phone)
- Requesting that patients wait in their cars for their appointments rather than in waiting rooms
- Asking patients to self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms before entering the clinic
If you have a medical concern that is NOT related to symptoms of COVID-19, please contact your family physician or a walk-in clinic to find out what your options are for receiving treatment.
**Physicians, nurses and other health care workers are working hard to help patients -- please help them by staying away from Emergency Rooms and Urgent Care Centres if your health concern is not an emergency.**
