requirements, social distancing, and regular sanitizing</strong> throughout the
school are the protocols that are being closely followed at Boyne River, every
day. As well, ALL STAFF wear their PPE all day.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">Thank you for helping us to keep
our students and staff safe as we work through these challenging times,

stopping the spread of COVID-19. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">As local cases of COVID-19</span> sharply rise
to numbers not seen since the spring, in addition to the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">provincial
restrictions</span> we are asking you to be cautious and reduce your exposure
within the community to keep everyone safe.</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Close Contact, Gatherings and Events:</span></strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Limit close contact (the people
you can hug and touch without physical distancing) to the people you live with.
If you live alone you may consider having exclusive, close contact with another
household to help reduce the negative impacts of social isolation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Maintain two metres (6 feet) of
physical distancing from everyone else.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Wear a face covering indoors,
outdoors if physical distancing cannot be maintained, or if wearing one is
required.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Virtual gatherings or events
are the safest way to visit or recognize occasions with people outside your
household. · Adhere to provincial and applicable local restrictions on public
and private gatherings. Currently these are set at a limit of 10 people indoors
and 25 people outdoors.</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">General Advice from
SMDHU:</span></strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Stay home if you have symptoms,
even if they are mild.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Wash your hands thoroughly and
regularly.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Cover your cough.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Wear a mask. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Download the COVID Alert mobile
app.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black;">· Get tested if you have symptoms
compatible with COVID-19, or if you’ve been advised of exposure by the health
unit or through the COVID Alert mobile app.</span></p> | | | |
