Symptoms and Prevention Measures

If you think you have symptoms resembling those of the coronavirus, that is to say, cough, fever or breathing difficulties, contact Info-Santé at 8-1-1 before consulting.

  • We also remind you of the recommended preventive hygiene measures:
  • Wash your hands often with warm running water and soap for at least 20 seconds.
  • Use an alcohol-based disinfectant if you do not have access to soap and water.
  • When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with your arm to reduce the spread of germs. If you use a tissue, throw it away as soon as possible and wash your hands afterwards.
  • Avoid visiting people in hospitals or long-term care homes within 14 days of returning from a foreign country, or if you are sick.
  • Avoid direct contact for greetings, such as handshakes and hugs.

 

The City will continue to keep its citizens informed of developments.
