COVID-19 Response & Precautions

March 24, 2020 – Update

Subject: Health directive from Alberta Health.

The current guidelines reported today clarify and require self-isolation for 10 days following the day of the last noticed symptom of ANY sickness such as cough, cold, sore throat, etc as although they may have simply seemed to be from cough cold or flu, in many cases, they could be indicative of a mild case COVID 19 and you may still be contagious.

We have implemented these guidelines in our company. We are somewhat isolated in Grande Prairie and have a chance to stay ahead of the curve if people are diligent.
