The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit joined with the Champlain region’s hospital Chiefs of Staff and Medical Officers of Health in the Champlain Region to release a statement about the status of COVID-19 in the area. The key messages are:

• Get vaccinated with all the doses you are eligible for.
• Limit your close contacts.
• Wear a mask in indoor public spaces.
• Stay home if you are sick.

We also remind you of the importance of respiratory etiquette (covering coughs and sneezes) and regular hand washing/use of hand sanitizer when out in public or at gatherings.

All the measures combined will help to reduce other respiratory infections, including influenza that is circulating in our community.
