We are implementing additional and more frequent sanitization in all of our buildings on all surfaces. We have also provided disinfectant spray bottles in our lobbies for residents to use on high touch surfaces.
All amenities will be closed effective immediately.
Education signs for the virus and prevention have been installed in common areas from Public Health Agency of Canada and Public Health Ontario.
We would like to remind you to:
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Wash your hands with soap and warm water often, for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with your sleeve; or cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue, then throw the tissue in the garbage.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid gathers in large groups.
