It’s time to be together – apart
As a community we need to continue working together to protect one another.
This means: social distancing – personally, I think physical distancing is clearer, is to be strictly adhered to. Everyone must avoid crowded areas and maintain a distance of two meters (six feet) from people around you.
This means: if you travelled during March Break you must self-isolate for two weeks. When you arrive – be it by plane or driving over the border, go home and stay there.
