WE ARE NOT HELPLESS, IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN SAVE HUNDREDS OF LIVES
BE KIND, CALL YOUR NEIGHBOURS, ASK FOR HELP AND OFFER HELP.
– Make sure your contact information is updated with your local RM or Town so that they can get local emergency and health information out to you
– Local pharmacies will be offering curbside drop off/pickup and deliveries
– The local clinics are all offering phone appointments for everyone and parking lot appointments for high risk patients or those who have symptoms (cough, fever, shortness of breath)
– STAY HOME: The only way to stop and slow down this disease is to:
- WASH YOUR HAND
- Avoid touching your mouth/nose/eyes with unwashed hands
- Wash your hands before you eat, right when you get home, and when you eat or make food
- PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING
- Avoid all unnecessary travel
- Decrease number of times a week you go to high use places
- Avoid crowds, shaking hands, hugs
- Going outside for walks/outdoor activities is fine as long as you stay 2 meters away from others
- If you are sick:
- And able to look after yourself ISOLATE YOURSELF: Do not go out to see anyone, even to pick up mail, Saskatchewan.ca/coronavirus has more information on how to self isolate. Help your symptoms with acetaminophen (Tylenol), honey, lemon etc.
- And worried you are too sick for home or have other health concerns
- Call your clinic to book an appointment (phone or in parking lot) or homecare for support.
- If you have fainted, are extremely short of breath:
- Call 911 or go to the emergency room
THE LOCAL CLINICS AND THE EMERGENCY ROOMS CANNOT DO CORONOVIRUS TESTING
