IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Preventing Further Spread
In order to assist with containing the spread of the Novel coronavirus, we encourage the following:
- Take the COVID 19 Self Assessment
- Stay home if you feel unwell – self isolate – Call 811 immediately before leaving your home.
- Frequently wash your hands
- Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with SOAP & WATER. If soap & water are not an option, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer may be used.
- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
- Practice respiratory hygiene
- Follow good respiratory hygiene; cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze (dispose of the used tissue immediately).
- Keep at least 1 metre distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
- If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
If you have COVID-19 symptoms and have travelled outside Canada or were exposed to someone who has COVID-19, stay home and call Health Link 811 for instructions.
Do not go to a health care facility without consulting 811 first. If you need immediate medical attention, call 911 and inform them that you may have COVID-19.

In the event that participants become diagnosed with the Novel coronavirus and have attended an ASPIRE event within 21 days of symptoms showing, we ask that you notify us to allow for the most up-to-date and accurate information to be provided to the health authorities.
We will continue to monitor the information on COVID-19 and will contact you with any updates as they occur.

Contact Tracing notification process
Alberta Health Services (AHS) updated its Contact Tracing Notification Process. AHS asks that every person who tests positive for COVID-19 (confirmed directly by AHS) notify their own close contacts. Close contacts of people with positive test results must self-isolate and should be tested for COVID-19.
Close contacts are defined as anyone that had contact with a case for more than 15 minutes total and within two meters. People are considered close contacts even if they were wearing a mask of any kind. For sports that involve close, sustained or intermittent and repeated contact, all members of the teams playing each other are considered close contacts when there is a case on a team. Close contacts are required to be quarantined for 14 days from the last date of close contact with the case. This means they will not be able to attend work, or any public place, during that timeframe.
