COVID-19 INFORMATION

Residents and visitors,

Re: Public Health and Novel Coronavirus Awareness (March 12th, 2020)

As many of you are aware, addressing the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) remains a focus for global, federal, provincial and local authorities. Earlier this week, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and as the impact has spread to Canada our federal and provincial governments are providing regular guidance to the public on the matter.

The following link is offered through Alberta Health Services, and is updated regularly to ensure timely and accurate information:

As a reminder, to help protect you and your family against all respiratory illnesses, including flu and COVID-19, you should:
Wash your hands often and well
Avoid touching your face, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched
Stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill
Contact your primary health provider or Health Link 811 if you have questions or concerns about your health
When sick, cover your cough and sneezes and then wash your hand.

Although the province-wide risk assessment of COVID-19 remains low a this time, and there are no reported cases (as of today’s date) in the immediate area, we encourage you to be diligent and proactive in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Our office will continue to monitor the situation and provide relevant material is it becomes available. At this time, office hours for the municipal office of the Summer Village will remain unchanged, and business operations internally will continue as usual, however if the situation changes we will advise.

If you have questions regarding this notice or need help getting accessing the information referenced in the notice feel free to contact the office at 780-967-0271.

Regards,

Summer Village of Nakamun Park
