Stay Home, and Keep Everyone Safe
You need to self-isolate for 14 days even if you do not have symptoms if:
• You have traveled anywhere outside of Canada (including the United States of America).
• You live with, provided care for, or spent extensive time with someone who has:
o tested positive for COVID-19 OR
o is suspected to have COVID-19, OR
o who has respiratory symptoms (fever, cough, or shortness of breath) that started
within 14 days of travel outside of Canada.

must contact Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 613-735-8654 within 24 hours of
arriving in Canada and provide your contact information.
• When self-isolating:
o Do not go out for groceries and visits. Make arrangements for groceries and
necessities to be dropped off to you.
o Stay in a separate room away from other people in your home as much as possible
and use a separate bathroom if you have one.
o Make sure that shared rooms have good airflow (e.g. open windows).
o Follow directions on how to self-isolate on the Renfrew County and District Health
Unit website.
Engage in Social Distancing/Physical Distancing

• Keep away from seniors and people with chronic medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, lung
problems, immune deficiency).
• Always keep a distance of at least 2 metres (6 feet) from other people.

The Township of Laurentian Valley advises everyone to follow the advice of our
Renfrew County and District Health Unit, Public Health Ontario and Public
Health Agency of Canada:
• Work from home if at all possible and do not frequent public places.
• Plan your grocery trips and use online ordering for delivery or pick-up as much as possible
and remember to ask others if you can pick up and drop groceries off for them at the same
time to limit the number of outings.

Wash Your Hands and Cover your Coughs and Sneezes
