As stores and parks begin to reopen across the country, the Government of Canada is stressing the importance of continuing to physically distance. This includes:

• Avoiding crowded places and gatherings.

• Avoiding common greetings, such as handshakes.

• Limiting contact with people at higher risk.

• Keeping a distance of at least 2 arms length from others.

Physical distancing is proven to be one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of illness during an outbreak, the government says.
