Should people who are at risk for complications take special precautions such as avoiding crowds?
It’s important that people continue their daily lives during the pandemic. PHAC doesn’t recommend that anyone avoid going to work or community social events if they are healthy. In other crowded situations that cannot be avoided, extra precautions should be taken such as frequent handwashing, to avoid picking up the virus. Pregnant women or others who are at risk for complications might consider carrying hand sanitizer for the same purpose.
