Temagami Update #32 on COVID-19

Public health units are no longer consistently reporting on the number of pending tests within each region.

The Province has announced that the state of emergency has been extended until July 15, 2020.

As Canada Day approaches, we would like to remind everyone to continue to be vigilant and follow the Public Health Directives; Physical distancing, hand washing/sanitization, social gathering restrictions, and masks where appropriate.

HAPPY CANADA DAY! WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY AND STAY SAFE!

Please remember:
Social gatherings can be any 10 people from outside your household, but where physical distancing of at least two metres should be maintained;
Social circles are no more than 10 people who can interact with one another without physical distancing. No one should be part of more than one circle.
Visitors to long-term care homes, retirement homes and congregate living settings are now required to have an asymptomatic swab within 14 days of the scheduled visit.

The Province is continuing to encourage people to get tested whether symptomatic or not.

Calling the health unit is no longer required if an individual in Temagami and area (that is not a patient of the Temagami FHT) wants to be tested. Simply call the Family Health Team at (705) 569-3244 and they will screen the person over the phone and schedule a time for them to come to the clinic to be tested in their vehicle in the parking lot.

The Family Health Team is reminding people to bring their own masks when they present themselves to the clinic for a scheduled visit. Please ensure that you wearing your masks properly, it should be covering your mouth and nose.

          THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND EFFORTS TOWARDS
                                  FLATTENING THE CURVE OF COVID-19.
