It’s that time of year

Learn how to protect yourself, your family, and your community from respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19, influenza (the flu), or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), this respiratory illness season.  Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health is strongly recommending that Ontarians remember the simple and effective ways they can help protect themselves, those most vulnerable to respiratory illnesses, and their community.

These actions include:

  • Staying up to date with immunizations, including COVID-19 and flu
  • Staying home when you are sick and wear a mask until day 10 from symptom onset
  • Practicing good hand hygiene and regularly cleaning surfaces
  • Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze
  • Considering wearing a mask, particularly if you are at high risk
  • If you are at high-risk, speak with your health care provider about antiviral treatment options in case you get sick
  • Optimize indoor air quality and spend time outdoors if possible
