This photo of many medical professionals holding signs that say: "I stayed at work for you, you stay at home for us" is very moving. We should stay at home. Thank you to our medical professionals.
And here is a useful link that defines necessary terms for us to understand, such as social distancing, quarantine, self-isolation, and lockdown.
Social distancing means that you are to avoid non essential social activities. You can still do groceries, go for walks. avoid restaurants or parties. Avoid physical contact with people and keep 2 metres or 6 feet apart from people. Wash your hands and avoid sick people.
Self-isolation for 14 days is required if you have travelled outside Canada or have been in close contact with an ill traveller.
Quarantine applies to people who are awaiting test results or have tested positive
Lockdown is when the government gets involved closing borders, restaurants etc.
